PhD Candidacy Exam

All GSBS students must petition for PhD candidacy by the end of their second year of enrollment. The purpose of the candidacy examination is to test the student's breadth and depth of knowledge in the biomedical sciences. The examination is meant to be an evaluation of the student's ability to construct a hypothesis, to design the means by which to test it, and to critically analyze obtained results.

These are the general GSBS guidelines for the timing of candidacy exams. Individual programs may specify a different schedule. Students should check with their Program Director or Coordinator to make sure they meet their program's requirements.

  • 候选考试必须在学生第三年的第一学期结束之前进行。
  • 例如，从秋季学期开始的学生必须在第三年的秋季学期结束之前参加考试。

Before submitting the petition, the student must be in good academic standing and have completed the following requirements:

1) Responsible Authorship and Publication
2) Data Acquisition and Management

完成模块的说明将在春季学期期间通过电子邮件发送给所有从上秋季学期完成道德课程的学生。

  • The petition must be approved by the学术标准委员会（ASC），在本月的第二个星期三开会。
  • The deadline to submit items for consideration by the ASC is 12:00 PM (noon) on the first Wednesday of the month (i.e., one week before the ASC meeting).

    该提案一定不能简单地概括顾问研究赠款的部分。beplay苹果手机能用吗相反，它应该证明学生独立思考和发展研究项目的各个方面的能力。beplay苹果手机能用吗预计学生将扩展到当前的项目，以包括学生自己的原始想法，这些想法超出了导师的想法。

    The final research proposal必须be the original work of the student. The text must be composed entirely of the student's writing and not that of any other person.

    Students may seek feedback on the exam proposal from others, such as peers and faculty (including the research advisor). However, the final research proposal must be the original work of the student. The text must be composed entirely of the student's writing and not that of any other person.

    请注意，某些计划可能对教师的帮助有局限性。To be safe, it is best to check with your Program Director.

    It is the student's responsibility to submit a research proposal to the Examining Committee至少两个星期在预定考试日期之前。满足两周的截止日期很重要。委员会成员在确定考试结果时可能会对提案的延迟提交。

    除了向委员会提交提案外，学生还必须向学术事务提交该提案进行转弯分析。请将所有建议发送给Bunny Perez。

    The format of the proposal follows the research section in NRSA F31 Fellowship Applications:

    • 1 page for Specific Aims
    • 研究策略的另外6页beplay苹果手机能用吗
