项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposal represents a collaboration between two outstanding research universities in Atlanta: Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). The long-term goal of the Atlanta BEST Program is to better prepare pre-doctoral and postdoctoral scientists for the breadth of possible careers in the biomedical research workforce, and to establish a network, share, evaluate, and disseminate widely best practices within the training community. The Program will establish programmatic alternatives for adapting pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training to meet 21st century scientific workforce needs by engaging in a transformation of the culture of training - in both a top-down and bottom-up approach - by creating new opportunities for both the trainees and the training/mentoring faculty. For the trainees, we will admit one cohort of 50 trainees per year (both pre-doctoral and postdoctoral, half from Emory and half from Georgia Tech). Each trainee will be appointed to the program for two years, although they and all other trainees are encouraged to be involved throughout their training. Faculty activities will initially target the Principal Investigators/advisors of those trainees, plus leaders of all of the biomedical research-based graduate programs from the two universities and other members of the training faculty who are supportive of this change of culture in the career development of biomedical researchers. Taking advantage of the wide variety of activities in the Atlanta biomedical research community at institutions such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and members of the pharmaceutical industry, we will establish, implement, and assess innovative approaches and activities to broaden and compliment traditional research training in the biomedical sciences, in the following three Aims: Aim 1: To expose trainees to a broad variety of career pathways beyond academia. Aim 2: To provide trainees deep immersion into a specific career pathway beyond academia. Aim 3: To better equip faculty at Emory and Georgia Tech to train graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for the 21st century workforce. The Atlanta BEST Program will leverage existing institutional resources from Emory and Georgia Tech to broaden and enrich training experiences for predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees, and their faculty mentors, and will develop meaningful opportunities targeting various career pathways outside of academia including a variety of internships with local institutions and agencies. The lessons learned from this effort will be used identify best practices for training of the biomedical research workforce, and will be disseminated broadly via publication, discussion at a local symposium of Atlanta-area research institutions, presentations by faculty and trainees in educational sessions of professional meetings, and via other avenues.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案代表了亚特兰大两所杰出研究型大学之间的合作：埃默里大学和佐治亚理工学院（Georgia Tech）。亚特兰大 BEST 计划的长期目标是更好地为博士前和博士后科学家做好生物医学研究人员可能的职业生涯的准备，并在培训中建立网络、共享、评估和广泛传播最佳实践社区。该计划将通过自上而下和自下而上的方式进行培训文化转型，为博士前和博士后培训创造新的机会，从而制定适应博士前和博士后培训以满足 21 世纪科学劳动力需求的方案替代方案。受训者和培训/指导教师。对于学员，我们每年将招收一批 50 名学员（包括博士前和博士后，一半来自埃默里大学，一半来自佐治亚理工学院）。每位学员将被指定参加该计划两年，但我们鼓励他们和所有其他学员参与整个培训过程。教师活动最初将针对这些学员的首席研究员/顾问，以及两所大学所有生物医学研究型研究生项目的领导者以及支持这种职业发展文化变革的培训教师的其他成员。生物医学研究人员。利用亚特兰大生物医学研究界、疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC) 等机构以及制药行业成员的各种活动，我们将建立、实施和评估创新方法和活动，以扩大研究范围并补充生物医学领域的传统研究培训，实现以下三个目标：目标 1：让学员接触学术界以外的各种职业道路。目标 2：让学员深入了解学术界之外的特定职业道路。目标 3：更好地装备埃默里大学和佐治亚理工学院的教师队伍，为 21 世纪的劳动力培养研究生和博士后研究员。亚特兰大 BEST 项目将利用埃默里大学和佐治亚理工学院的现有机构资源，拓宽和丰富博士前和博士后学员及其导师的培训经验，并将针对学术界以外的各种职业道路开发有意义的机会，包括在当地的各种实习机会。机构和机构。从这项工作中汲取的经验教训将用于确定培训人员的最佳做法生物医学研究队伍，并将通过出版物、亚特兰大地区研究机构当地研讨会的讨论、教师和学员在专业会议教育会议上的演讲以及其他途径广泛传播。
