Project Summary/Abstract This application requests funding to support 8 second- and third-year graduate students in the Harvard Graduate Program in Bacteriology (GPiB). The goal of this program is to train highly skilled experimentalists firmly grounded in the logic and rigor of the scientific method and, from that base, empower them to identify and pursue the challenges and opportunities of modern bacteriology. The GPiB builds upon more than a half- century of successful research and training in bacteriology at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health (HSPH). At the heart of this inter-school program is a vibrant and supportive community of microbiologists that draws its strength from decades of scientific exchange, active collaborations, training successes, and long-standing friendships. The GPiB harnesses the camaraderie, mentorship, and infrastructure of this community and combines it with coursework, program-specific activities, and dissertation research. Trainees in the 22 program faculty labs investigate topics ranging from gene regulation and cell wall biogenesis to the molecular underpinnings of drug resistance and its spread through populations. Students enter the GPiB through the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program at HMS or the Biological Sciences in Public Health (BPH) program at HSPH and are selected for the program based on their expressed interest in the GPiB during their first year of graduate school and their choice of dissertation laboratory.!The GPiB supplements the broad and successful training of the BBS and BPH umbrella programs with focused coursework in basic bacteriology, pathogenesis, and the host response. Two required bacteriology classes use primary literature to teach students to be critical readers and thinkers while developing skills in experimental design and communication. Additional training in quantitative methods is also required. Coursework and research are combined with career mentorship focused on transferrable skills including problem-solving, communication, and collaboration. The GPiB also provides a collection of resources and events that help trainees identify future career opportunities. Importantly, the success of our trainees and the program as a whole are not taken for granted. A novel set of surveys that monitor trainees and their mentors inform regular program assessments. The Harvard microbiology community is a diverse, passionate, and tight-knit group of scientists and the GPiB ensures that the rigor and commitment of this community will support the training of generations of successful bacteriologists.!

项目概要/摘要 该申请请求资金支持哈佛大学的 8 名二年级和三年级研究生 细菌学研究生课程（GPiB）。该计划的目标是培养高技能的实验人员 牢固地扎根于科学方法的逻辑和严谨性，并在此基础上使他们能够识别 并追求现代细菌学的挑战和机遇。 GPiB 建立在超过一半的基础上 哈佛医学院 (HMS) 和哈佛大学在细菌学方面的一个世纪的成功研究和培训 陈曾熙公共卫生学院 (HSPH)。这个校际项目的核心是充满活力和支持性的 微生物学家社区从数十年的科学交流、积极合作中汲取力量， 培训的成功和长期的友谊。 GPiB 利用友情、指导和 该社区的基础设施，并将其与课程作业、特定项目的活动和论文相结合 研究。 22 个项目教师实验室的学员研究从基因调控到细胞壁等一系列主题 耐药性的分子基础的生物发生及其在人群中的传播。学生 通过 HMS 的生物和生物医学科学 (BBS) 项目或生物科学学院进入 GPiB HSPH 的公共卫生科学 (BPH) 项目，并根据其表达的情况被选入该项目 研究生第一年对 GPiB 的兴趣以及他们对论文实验室的选择。！ GPiB 补充了 BBS 和 BPH 伞式计划的广泛而成功的培训，重点关注 基础细菌学、发病机制和宿主反应的课程。使用两门必需的细菌学课程 教学生成为批判性读者和思考者的主要文献，同时培养实验技能 设计和沟通。还需要进行定量方法方面的额外培训。课程作业和 研究与职业指导相结合，重点关注可转移技能，包括解决问题、 沟通、协作。 GPiB 还提供了一系列资源和事件来帮助 学员确定未来的职业机会。重要的是，我们的学员和该计划作为一个 整体并不被认为是理所当然的。一组新颖的调查监测学员及其导师，定期通报情况 计划评估。哈佛微生物学界是一个多元化、充满激情、紧密团结的群体 科学家和 GPiB 确保该社区的严谨和承诺将支持对 一代又一代成功的细菌学家！
