SUMMARY The objective of the Diversity Action Plan at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Genomic Program (DAPPG) is to guide undergraduate and recent college graduates from underrepresented (UR) groups into graduate school to pursue genomics research. The Diversity Action Plan will be developed and implemented in partnership with NHGRI T32 training programs in Computational Genomics, Genomic Medicine, and the Ethical, legal and social implications of genetics and genomics as well as a research program in sub-cellular genomics. This program especially emphasizes vertical integration of regional training, recognizing the geographic mobility restrictions common to many socio-economically disadvantaged UR groups. At least 10 UR scholars (7-10 summer students and 3 post-baccalaureate students), from the Greater Philadelphia area along with additional candidates from across the country, will be identified each year who are interested in genomics and genomic medicine research but lack the experience or expertise necessary for graduate or medical school training. Each scholar will be matched with a research mentor among the graduate training faculty as well as PhD/Postdoctoral level mentors from the T32 programs and provided with a significant one to two-year research project. An Individual Student Development Plan (IDP) is developed for each scholar to ensure that the scholar undertakes training appropriate to his or her own scientific needs and interests, including graduate or advanced undergraduate coursework. Scholars will also develop the skills necessary for success in graduate school by completing workshops in genomics and computational biology, grant writing, the responsible conduct of research, critical analysis of scientific literature, and oral and written presentation skills. Scholars will also participate in a one-on-one writing workshop with a professional writing instructor. Scholars will meet weekly as a group to discuss scientific journal articles and their own research, in order to further develop their skills in the critical evaluation of research and the delivery of scientific presentations, as well as to increase their exposure to research outside their own research groups. In addition, scholars will receive advising for the graduate school application process, including selecting programs, writing application essays, and practicing interviews. If necessary, scholars will take a GRE or MCAT preparation course. Scholars will also participate in various lunches and seminars with Penn faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students who share their training experiences, on-going research, and academic paths. The ultimate measure of the program's success is the percentage of scholars who are admitted to PhD or MD-PhD training programs and pursue a research career. !

概括 宾夕法尼亚大学（PENN）基因组计划（DAPPG）的多样性行动计划的目标 是为了指导本科生和近期大学毕业生，来自代表性不足（UR）的小组进入研究生院 追求基因组学研究。多样性行动计划将与 NHGRI T32计算基因组学，基因组医学以及伦理，法律和社会的培训计划 遗传学和基因组学的含义以及亚细胞基因组学中的研究计划。这个程序 特别强调区域培训的垂直整合，认识到地理流动性限制 许多社会经济处于弱势群体的共同体。至少10个Ur学者（7-10名夏季学生 来自大费城地区的3名学士后学生）以及来自其他候选人 在全国范围内，每年都会确定对基因组学和基因组医学研究感兴趣的人 但是缺乏研究生或医学院培训所需的经验或专业知识。每个学者将是 与研究生培训教师以及博士/博士学位的导师相匹配 从T32计划中提供了一个重要的一到两年的研究项目。个体学生 为每个学者制定了开发计划（IDP），以确保学者进行适当的培训 满足他自己的科学需求和兴趣，包括研究生或高级本科课程。 学者还将通过完成研讨会来发展成功的技能 基因组学和计算生物学，赠款写作，负责任的研究，对 科学文学以及口头和书面演讲技巧。学者还将参加一对一的写作 与专业写作教练的讲习班。学者将每周开会以讨论科学期刊 文章及其研究，以进一步发展他们的技能，以在研究和 提供科学演讲，并增加他们自己的研究的接触 研究小组。此外，学者还将为研究生院申请过程提供建议，包括 选择程序，撰写申请论文以及练习访谈。如有必要，学者将参加GRE 或MCAT准备课程。学者们还将与宾夕法尼亚州教师一起参加各种午餐和研讨会 分享培训经验，持续研究和的博士后研究员和研究生 学术道路。该计划成功的最终度量是被录取的学者的百分比 为博士或MD-PHD培训计划并从事研究职业。 呢
