The graduate-level training program “Interinstitutional Program in Cell & Molecular Biology” addresses the demands of changing job prospects, an urgent need to increase diversity in the scientific community, and the importance of enhancing ethics and rigor in research. The program unites three internationally recognized research and educational entities, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and Carnegie-Mellon University, all in close proximity within one of America’s most livable cities. The merger of these distinct entities capitalizes on pre-existing connections between these groups, such as the Pittsburgh- area membrane trafficking group, which is now in its 18th year of organizing annual meetings and courses. The merger of the three groups also broadens training potential, particularly with respect to available expertise and infrastructure, and emphasizes the importance of scientific collaboration to the trainees. Indeed, to capitalize on these strengths, each trainee will have a co-mentor from one of the other institutions. The administrations at each institution are fully committed to the research plan, and Faculty in the program were chosen based on past training outcomes or (for younger Faculty) future potential. The Faculty encompass diverse areas of expertise in basic cell and molecular biology, professional ranks and backgrounds, and will participate in robust mentor training, which strengthens their ability to develop personalized training programs and to mentor trainees both daily and at twice-yearly thesis meetings. The result will be a personalized and supportive training plan that is rigorously monitored using objective assessment tools. Faculty labs within the program attract outstanding and diverse trainees with career goals that span a wide spectrum. Dual mentorship brings a breadth of scientific approaches and an increased base of professional contacts. Thanks to culling from the best of the participating departments, trainees will attend outstanding courses and seminars that collectively hone critical thinking, enable broad knowledge, introduce cutting-edge technologies, emphasize scientific ethics and rigor and reproducibility, and highlight career and professional development opportunities. Additionally, instruction and practice in communication skills, including participation in outreach and classroom teaching, will be an integral feature of the program. In sum, the program will recruit and retain a diverse trainee cohort that will be provided with a tailored and collaboration-focused pathway, preparing them for entry into a range of career paths open to PhD recipients in cell and molecular biology.

研究生级培训计划“细胞与分子生物学的机构间计划” 满足不断变化的工作前景的需求，迫切需要增加多样性 科学界，以及增强研究中的道德和严格的重要性。 计划单位三个国际认可的研究和教育实体，该大学 匹兹堡大学医学院和卡内基 - 梅隆大学的匹兹堡 在美国最宜居的城市之一中，这一切都紧邻。这些独特的合并 实体利用这些群体之间的先前存在的联系，例如匹兹堡 - 区域膜贩运小组，该小组现在已在组织年度会议的第18年 和课程。这三个组的合并也扩大了训练潜力，特别是 尊重可用的专业知识和基础设施，并强调科学的重要性 与受训者的合作。确实，要利用这些优势，每个学员都会有一个 来自其他机构之一的院长。每个机构的政府完全 致力于研究计划，并根据过去的培训选择该计划的教师 结果或（对于年轻的教师）将来的潜力。教师包括 基本细胞和分子生物学，专业等级和背景方面的专业知识，并将 参加强大的心理训练，这可以增强他们发展个性化的能力 培训计划以及每天和每年两次的论文会议上的心理学学员。这 结果将是一个个性化和支持的培训计划，使用 客观评估工具。该计划中的教师实验室吸引了杰出的潜水员 具有广泛范围的职业目标的学员。双重精神验证 科学方法和专业接触的基础增加。谢谢你从 最好的参与部门，受训人员将参加出色的课程和半手 共同磨练批判性思维，实现广泛的知识，引入尖端技术， 强调科学伦理，严格和可重复性，并强调职业和专业 发展机会。此外，沟通技巧的指导和实践， 包括参与外展和课堂教学，将成为 程序。总而言之，该计划将招募并保留将提供的多元化学员队列 采用量身定制和以协作为中心的途径，准备进入一系列 职业道路向细胞和分子生物学领域的博士接受者开放。
