Abstract Reproductive health is the window to overall health and offers enormous opportunities and challenges for high- quality interdisciplinary research and careers. The goal of the Career Training in Reproductive Biology (CTRB) Program is to train exceptional predoctoral students for diverse scientific careers in the reproductive sciences. Funds are requested to train five predoctoral students per year in a dual program consisting two main parts. First, to prepare for a research career, students will engage in rigorous, hypothesis-based scientific laboratory work in reproductive biology. Second, to prepare students for varied career paths, they will complete a University of Michigan-sponsored Certificate program to hone skills in teaching, translational research, public policy, or entrepreneurship. These Certificate programs were specifically designed to dovetail with graduate work to prepare students with the qualitative and quantitative skills needed for careers in specific disciplines. This innovative program addresses the needs of reproductive biology trainees in a way that no other program at the University of Michigan does. Thirteen select faculty mentors, who are highly recognized scientists with a passion for and extensive combined experience in predoctoral education, enthusiastically comprise the CTRB Program faculty. Trainees are drawn from exceptionally strong graduate programs in biomedical sciences, biomedical engineering and environmental health sciences. Specific training activities include formal courses in Mammalian Reproductive Physiology, Scientific Communication and Responsible Conduct of Research, monthly mentored trainee research presentations, group discussions of laboratory management, job interview practice, two annual symposia in reproductive sciences and twice-yearly mentoring meeting. Trainee input will actively shape the training program. Trainees and mentors submit formal competitive applications that are reviewed and required for appointment to the CTRB Program. The CTRB Program is monitored by several internal mechanisms and external advisors will be established to ensure its responsiveness to demands of a continuously evolving research environment and changing trainee needs. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Central goals of the Career Training in Reproductive Biology are to provide intellectual and technical research training in the field of reproductive biology, to promote interdisciplinary thinking, and to pair trainee passion for science with employment opportunities by exposing trainees to diverse scientific career opportunities that cross boundaries between the academic and non-academic.

抽象的 生殖健康是整体健康的窗口，为高级提供了巨大的机会和挑战 质量跨学科研究和职业。生殖生物学（CTRB）职业培训的目标 计划是为生殖科学的多种科学职业培训杰出的专业学生。 要求资金每年在一个双重计划中培训五个主要学生，其中两个主要部分。 首先，为了为研究职业做准备，学生将从事严格的，基于假设的科学实验室 生殖生物学工作。其次，为学生准备各种职业道路，他们将完成 密歇根大学赞助的证书计划，以磨练教学技能，转化研究，公众 政策或企业家精神。这些证书计划是专门设计的，可以与研究生吻合 为学生在特定学科中所需的定性和定量技能做好准备。 这个创新的计划以其他计划的方式满足了生殖生物学学员的需求 在密歇根大学做。十三位精选教师导师，他们是备受认可的科学家 热情地构成了CTRB 课程教师。学员是从生物医学科学领域异常强大的研究生课程中得出的， 生物医学工程和环境健康科学。具体的培训活动包括正式课程 在哺乳动物生殖生理学中，科学沟通和负责任的研究行为， 每月指导的学员研究演讲，实验室管理的小组讨论，工作面试 实践，两次在生殖科学方面的每年研讨会和每年两次指导会议。学员输入将 积极塑造培训计划。学员和导师提交正式的竞争申请 审查并要求任命CTRB计划。 CTRB程序由多个监视 将建立内部机制和外部顾问，以确保其对需求的响应 不断发展的研究环境和改变受训者的需求。公共卫生相关性： 生殖生物学职业培训的核心目标是提供智力和技术研究 在生殖生物学领域的培训，促进跨学科思维并配对受训者对 科学与就业机会的科学通过使学员获得跨越科学的职业机会 学术与非学术之间的界限。
