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.

研究生培养项目“细胞与分子生物学跨机构项目” 满足不断变化的就业前景的需求，迫切需要增加多样性 科学界，以及加强研究道德和严谨性的重要性。 计划单位三个国际公认的研究和教育实体，大学 匹兹堡大学、匹兹堡大学医学院和卡内基梅隆大学， 所有这些都位于美国最宜居的城市之一内。 实体利用这些团体之间预先存在的联系，例如匹兹堡- 地区膜贩运小组组织年度会议现已进入第 18 个年头 三个小组的合并也扩大了培训潜力，特别是在培训方面。 尊重现有的专业知识和基础设施，并强调科学的重要性 事实上，为了利用这些优势，每个受训者都将拥有一个 来自其他机构之一的共同导师。 致力于研究计划，该项目的教员是根据过去的培训选择的 成果或（对于年轻的教师）未来潜力。该学院涵盖各个领域。 基础细胞和分子生物学专业知识、专业级别和背景，并将 参加强有力的导师培训，这增强了他们发展个性化的能力 培训计划，并在每天和每年两次的论文会议上指导学员。 结果将是一个个性化和支持性的培训计划，该计划受到严格监控 该计划内的教师实验室吸引了优秀且多样化的人员。 具有广泛职业目标的学员可以得到广泛的双重指导。 科学的方法和不断增加的专业联系基础。 最好的参与部门，学员将参加优秀的课程和研讨会 共同磨练批判性思维，获得广泛的知识，引进尖端技术， 强调科学道德和严谨性、可重复性，突出事业和专业 此外，还有沟通技巧的指导和练习， 包括参与外展和课堂教学，将成为该项目的一个组成部分 总之，该计划将招募并留住多元化的学员群体。 通过量身定制的、以协作为重点的途径，为他们进入一系列领域做好准备 职业道路向细胞和分子生物学博士学位获得者开放。
