Training Program in Genetics Summary Genetics is a critical factor underlying human disease, wellness, and lifespan. Genetic research has led to enormous improvements in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a great range of diseases. The long- term objective of the proposed program is to strengthen the national scientific workforce to improve human health. We have designed the Training Program in Genetics (TPG) to provide unified training in modern genetics research for predoctoral students across three campuses and from three main departments at Yale University. It aims to prepare PhD students for leadership positions in science and science-related careers via five key objectives: i) to provide training in rigorous experimental design, new technology and quantitative methods; ii) to build intellectual community among geneticists addressing a wide variety of problems and across several departments; iii) to develop communication skills by providing opportunities to present research and by providing feedback on the presentations; iv) to foster an environment that promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion; v) to develop leadership skills that are applicable not only in genetics research but also in a variety of other science and science-related careers. We will advocate for these innovations to be adopted by other training programs and therefore impact the larger university community. Students develop skills via a combination of coursework, laboratory research, and a rich variety of carefully designed program-specific activities. The TPG will hold monthly Research in Progress talks, an annual Retreat, an annual Symposium, workshops on R statistics and other topics, and opportunities to discuss topics in genetics with undergraduates in a course for non-science majors. A number of career development opportunities will be provided. The TPG is distinguished from other training programs at Yale by the remarkable wealth of interests of its trainers. Faculty trainers are united by a common focus on genetics but address wide-ranging problems at different levels in diverse species, providing exceptionally rich training. Junior trainers are mentored by senior trainers, and all take a common evidence-based course on mentoring. Students and trainers are selected via a set of criteria, including the diversity of background and experience that they bring to the program, as well as their commitment to mentoring and supporting student education. The program will be overseen by two Directors with complementary expertise, an internal Executive Committee, and an external Advisory Committee. Success of the TPG will be evaluated regularly according to a detailed plan designed and executed by a professional with expertise in program assessment. The program would welcome seven new students each year and provide stipend and tuition support during years 2 and 3 for 14 slots total per year, with a cohort of ~ 42 students across ~ six years of training.

遗传学培训计划摘要 遗传学是人类疾病，健康和寿命的关键因素。遗传学研究已 在预防，诊断和治疗多种疾病方面的大大改善。长期 拟议计划的术语目标是加强国家科学劳动力以改善人类 健康。我们已经设计了遗传学培训计划（TPG），以提供现代的统一培训 跨三个校园和耶鲁大学三个主要部门的遗传学研究 大学。它旨在通过博士生为科学和科学相关职业领域的领导职务做好准备 五个关键目标：i）提供严格的实验设计，新技术和定量的培训 方法; ii）在解决各种问题的遗传学家中建立知识分子社区和 在几个部门； iii）通过提供机会来发展沟通技巧 并提供有关演示文稿的反馈； iv）促进一个促进多样性，公平性的环境 和包容； v）发展领导能力，不仅适用于遗传学研究，而且还适用于 其他各种与科学和科学有关的职业。我们将主张这些创新 其他培训计划，因此影响了较大的大学社区。学生通过 课程工作，实验室研究以及各种精心设计的计划特定于计划的结合 活动。 TPG将举行每月进行的研究，每年的务虚会，年度研讨会， 关于R统计和其他主题的研讨会，以及与本科生讨论遗传学主题的机会 在非科学专业的课程中。将提供许多职业发展机会。 TPG 其培训师的巨大利益与耶鲁大学的其他培训计划区分开。 教师培训师的共同重点是遗传学的联合，但解决了不同的问题。 各种物种的水平，提供了异常丰富的培训。初级培训师由高级培训师指导， 所有人都采用有关指导的常见循证课程。学生和培训师是通过一组 标准，包括他们带给计划的背景和经验的多样性以及他们的经验 致力于指导和支持学生教育。该计划将由两名董事监督 具有补充专业知识，内部执行委员会和外部咨询委员会。 TPG的成功将根据由A设计和执行的详细计划定期评估 专业的计划评估专业知识。该计划将欢迎七个新学生 一年，在第2年和3年期间提供津贴和学费支持，每年14个老虎机，同类〜 42名六年培训的学生。
