SUMMARY Due to expanded clinical implementation of genetic testing and technologies across healthcare specialties, there is a huge demand for genetic counseling services in clinical, industry, public health, and academia. The roles of genetic counselors have changed and grown drastically over the 40 years since the field's inception. As the field has expanded to over 4,000, there is greater need for genetic counselors to be able to research the practice in an evidence-based fashion. At present, a two-year Master’s Degree in Genetic Counseling constitutes the terminal degree for genetic counselors, the majority who practice in clinic settings. While genetic counselors are primed to study the profession in their current roles, additional research training is needed to foster the necessary skills and methodology expertise to lead independent research programs. In recognition that the field of genetic counseling would benefit from additional research funding and that our research team is well poised to meet this need, we have created the first ever research fellowship for genetic counselors called the Genetic Counseling Fellowship in Research Training (GC-FIRST) at the University of Minnesota. Upon completion of this comprehensive 2-year, part-time research education experience, four genetic counselors will be exceptionally well positioned to contribute to the growing need for genetic counseling researchers. The overarching objective of GC-FIRST is to train genetic counselors in a range of research methodologies to promote research implementation by genetic counselors working in clinical, industry, public and population health settings. Our central goal is to educate genetic counseling researchers to be independent leaders who mentor future genetic counseling researchers. To reach this goal and attain the overall objective, we will: 1) Develop a rigorous qualitative and quantitative training in the fundamentals and advances in genetic counseling research through a series of formal coursework and training modules; 2) Provide interdisciplinary research training using a practical, application based, and collaborative approach to produce two manuscripts and a grant application; 3) Generate a diverse cohort of well-trained research clinicians that will have enthusiasm for lifelong learning to bolster the genetic counseling research workforce; 4) Evaluate the short term and long term summative and formative outcomes of the two-year fellowship. If successful, this application would create the first research training fellowship program for genetic counselors and contribute to the workforce in academic, clinical, industry, public and population health settings. An added end-product of the fellowship will be the creating and distribution of a set of online modules that will be packaged to educate an even greater number of genetic counselors with advanced research training.

概括 由于跨医疗保健专业的基因检测和技术的临床实施扩大， 在临床，工业，公共卫生和学术界对遗传咨询服务的需求很大。 自该领域成立以来的40年中，遗传互动的角色发生了巨大变化和巨大的发展。 随着该领域已扩大到4,000多个，遗传硬币更需要能够研究 以循证方式练习。目前，遗传咨询的两年硕士学位 构成遗传计数的终端程度，这是在临床环境中实践的大多数人。尽管 遗传计数已准备好研究该行业目前的角色，其他研究培训是 需要培养必要的技能和方法论专业知识来领导独立的研究计划。在 认识到遗传咨询领域将受益于其他研究资金，我们 研究团队有毒品有毒品以满足这一需求，我们创建了有史以来的第一个仿制药研究奖学金 Countsellors称研究培训的遗传咨询奖学金（GC-FIRST） 明尼苏达州。完成这项全面的2年兼职研究教育经验后，四个 遗传计数将异常良好，可以促进对遗传的日益增长的需求 咨询研究人员。 GC-优先的总体目标是训练遗传硬币 通过遗传约定促进研究实施的研究方法， 行业，公共和人口健康环境。我们的核心目标是教育遗传咨询研究人员 成为指导未来遗传咨询研究人员的独立领导者。达到这个目标并实现 总体目标，我们将：1）在基本面和 通过一系列正式课程和培训模块进行遗传咨询研究的进步； 2） 使用实用，基于申请和协作的方法提供跨学科研究培训 制作两个手稿和一个赠款申请； 3）产生一系列训练有素的研究 临床医生对终身学习的热情来加强遗传咨询研究人员； 4） 评估两年奖学金的短期和长期总结和形成结果。如果 成功，该应用程序将创建第一个用于遗传查询的研究培训奖学金计划 并为学术，临床，工业，公共和人口健康环境中的劳动力做出贡献。一个添加 奖学金的最终产品将是一组在线模块的创建和分发 通过高级研究培训进行包装以教育更多的遗传计数。
