PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Genomics science gives us a better understanding of the interactions between genes and the environment, thus allowing researchers to find better ways to improve health and prevent diseases. The Training in Genomics Research (TiGeR) Track will engage students from under-represented populations, such as those from racial and/or ethnic minority groups, people with disabilities, those from sexual and gender minority groups, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The program will target qualified candidates from these under-represented communities with undergraduate degrees in computer science, mathematics, or statistics with limited or no experience working with genomics datasets. The TiGeR Track program’s main goal is to prepare students for successful careers as computational experts in genomics research. This goal will be accomplished through our targeted recruitment and retention efforts within the two- year graduate curriculum culminating in a master’s degree in biological data science with a concentration on genomics research. The TiGeR Track will be integrated into our recently established Master’s in Biological Data Science (MSBDS) degree program. The MSBDS is an interdisciplinary program that capitalizes on the three pillars of specialty within the School of Mathematical and Natural Sciences (SMNS) at Arizona State University (ASU) West: computer science, life sciences, and mathematics. However, the MSBDS currently has no focus on genomics research nor bioinformatics, and the TiGeR Track will help fill this gap. In addition to extensive course work and supervised hands-on research activities, the TiGeR students will be trained in AnVIL - a cloud-based platform for computational genomics as well as other genomics toolsets using publicly available datasets and repositories. Combining a strong focus on genomics research and large-scale data analytics skills will equip our TiGeR graduates to be immediate and valuable contributors to industry and research jobs in the genomics science sector. We will target, recruit and retain a diverse pool of students to develop into the next generation's thought leaders in genomics sciences. By recruiting students that represent the communities surrounding our institution, we will maximize deeper ties with surrounding communities at the regional level and generate a diverse science workforce that can compete globally. The TiGeR Track program will provide a model of interdisciplinary collaboration in genomics sciences among faculty within SMNS and other stakeholders on and off-campus. To be prepared to undertake a career in genomics science, the TiGeR Track graduates require a strong foundation of skilled creativity and the ability to identify and achieve scientific goals of significance to the biomedical and biosciences research enterprise. Throughout their tenure in the TiGeR Track program, the students will develop skills to utilize and analyze genomic datasets from the public domain in a research laboratory setting. While a robust interdisciplinary and immersive instruction structure is already present for data science training within the MSBDS degree program, additional resources are required to establish the genomics science curriculum, particularly in a way that will support students from under-represented backgrounds. Hence, we are submitting this grant application.

项目摘要/摘要 基因组学使我们更好地了解基因与环境之间的相互作用，因此 允许研究人员找到更好的方法来改善健康并预防疾病。基因组学研究的培训 （老虎）轨道将吸引来自代表性不足的人群的学生，例如种族和/或少数民族的学生 团体，残疾人，性别和性别少数群体的人以及灾难的人 背景。该计划将针对这些代表性不足的社区的合格候选人 计算机科学，数学或统计学的学位有限或没有使用基因组数据集的经验。 Tiger Track计划的主要目标是为学生做好成功职业的准备，作为计算专家 基因组学研究。这一目标将通过我们的目标招募和保留工作来实现。 年度研究生课程最终以生物数据科学的硕士学位，集中于基因组学 研究。老虎轨道将集成到我们最近建立的生物数据科学硕士（MSBD）中 学位课程。 MSBD是一个跨学科计划，可利用该专业的三个专业支柱 亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）西部数学和自然科学学院（SMNS）：计算机科学，生活 科学和数学。但是，MSBD目前没有关注基因组学研究或生物信息学，以及 老虎轨道将有助于填补这一空白。除了广泛的课程工作和监督的动手研究活动外， 老虎学生将接受Anvil的培训 - 基于云的计算基因组学平台以及其他 基因组学工具集使用公开可用的数据集和存储库。将重点放在基因组学研究和 大规模的数据分析技能将使我们的老虎毕业生成为行业和有价值的贡献者和 基因组科学领域的研究工作。 我们将针对，招募和留住潜水员的学生群，以发展成为下一代的思想领袖 基因组学科学。通过招募代表机构周围社区的学生，我们将最大化 与区域层面的周围社区有更深的联系 全球。 Tiger Track计划将提供基因组科学跨学科合作的模型 SMN和其他校外利益相关者的教师。准备从事基因组学职业 科学，老虎轨道毕业生需要熟练的创造力和识别和实现的能力的强大基础 对生物医学和生物科学研究企业的意义的科学目标。通过他们的任期 Tiger Track计划，学生将开发技能，以利用和分析来自公共领域的基因组数据集 研究实验室环境。尽管数据已经存在，虽然数据已经存在 MSBDS学位课程中的科学培训需要其他资源来建立基因组科学 课程，尤其是以一种支持代表性不足背景的学生的方式。因此，我们是 提交此赠款申请。
