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。基因研究已引领 从而在多种疾病的预防、诊断和治疗方面取得巨大进步。长- 拟议计划的长期目标是加强国家科学队伍，以提高人类水平 健康。我们设计了遗传学培训计划（TPG），以提供现代遗传学的统一培训 耶鲁大学三个校区和三个主要院系的博士前学生的遗传学研究 大学。它旨在通过以下方式帮助博士生在科学和科学相关职业中担任领导职位： 五个关键目标：i) 提供严格的实验设计、新技术和定量方面的培训 方法; ii) 在遗传学家之间建立知识共同体，解决各种问题； 跨多个部门； iii) 通过提供展示研究的机会来培养沟通技巧 并提供对演示的反馈； iv) 营造促进多样性、公平的环境， 和包容性； v) 培养不仅适用于遗传学研究而且适用于其他领域的领导技能 各种其他科学和与科学相关的职业。我们将倡导这些创新被采用 其他培训计划，因此影响更大的大学社区。学生通过以下方式培养技能 课程作业、实验室研究和各种精心设计的特定项目的结合 活动。 TPG 将每月举行“研究进展”会谈、年度静修会、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 与耶鲁其他培训项目的不同之处在于其培训师的兴趣非常丰富。 教师培训师因共同关注遗传学而团结在一起，但同时解决不同领域的广泛问题。 不同物种的水平，提供异常丰富的培训。初级培训师由高级培训师指导， 所有人都参加了共同的循证指导课程。学生和培训师是通过一系列的选择 标准，包括他们为该计划带来的背景和经验的多样性，以及他们的 致力于指导和支持学生教育。该计划将由两名董事监督 具有互补的专业知识、内部执行委员会和外部咨询委员会。 TPG 的成功将根据由专家设计和执行的详细计划定期评估 具有项目评估专业知识的专业人员。该项目将分别迎来七名新生 年，并在第 2 年和第 3 年提供津贴和学费支持，每年总共 14 个名额，其中有 ~ 42 名学生接受了约六年的培训。
