ABSTRACT The objective of “GREAT opportunities in Genome Science” is to create a comprehensive, 2-year mentored research and professional development training program at California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and in collaboration with the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to train students who are from historically underrepresented and low-income populations for careers in genomics. The training will be focused on engaging students in a broad range of topics and research environments (both wet and dry labs at UCSC). A GREAT student cohort will be recruited from STEM majors including Biology, Math & Statistics, and Computer Science at CSUMB with the aim to identify them early in their academic careers and build a solid foundation in genomics and well position them to begin research training. The GREAT cohort will include students from rising juniors in the summer and Fall prior to the summer of research. Once a cohort is identified, the preparatory activities will be initiated in the Fall semester of their Junior year, followed by assigning students to CSUMB and UCSC mentors. The student will then be assigned to courses and workshops at CSUMB in the Spring of Junior year. The training of the students will be conducted in collaboration with the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center at CSUMB. In the summer, students (now rising Seniors) will be placed in labs to work with their UCSC mentors. When possible at UCSC, the GREAT students will be placed in labs that are also hosting UCSC undergrads. This will encourage peer-to-peer mentoring and will help build affinity between CSUMB and UCSC students and cultivate a sense of community. In the Fall of senior year, students will return to CSUMB for two semesters of continued engagement with coursework and continuation of research aligned with their summer lab research experience. Where possible, summer research projects will continue through the academic year and the mentors will continue to support students in tandem with CSUMB faculty. All GREAT scholars will also participate in professional development, genomics-specific education, and graduate school preparation workshops and courses. Skills-based workshops will include instruction in basic programming, data structures and algorithms, elementary statistics, and the use of UCSC- based tools like the Genome Browser and the Xena Browser, while professional development and genomic education course will cover instruction on science writing and communication, career pathway understanding, responsible research conduct and ethics, legal and social implications issues in genomics, areas of specific research inquiry in genomics, and other topics to support development of the scholars’ identities as scientists, their scientific values, and their self-efficacy. Coordination of lab placement and summer activities at UCSC will be managed by the Genomics Institute Office of Diversity Programs (GIOD). Through this project, five cohorts of GREAT scholars will be extensively trained, and a platform will be established which will encourage and guide other students to pursue their careers in the genome sciences.

抽象的 “基因组科学的巨大机会”的目标是创建一个全面的、为期 2 年的指导课程 加州州立大学蒙特利湾分校的研究和专业发展培训项目 （CSUMB）并与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）合作，培训以下学生： 来自历史上代表性不足和低收入人群的基因组学职业。 专注于让学生参与广泛的主题和研究环境（湿实验室和干实验室） UCSC）将从 STEM 专业招募优秀的学生，包括生物学、数学与统计学以及 CSUMB 计算机科学专业的目标是在他们的学术生涯早期就识别出他们，并为他们建立坚实的基础 伟大的队列将包括基因组学基础并为开始研究培训做好准备。 在夏季研究之前的夏季和秋季，来自即将升入高三的学生一旦确定了队列， 准备活动将在大三秋季学期开始，然后分配 然后，学生将被分配到 CSUMB 和 UCSC 导师的课程和研讨会。 CSUMB 在大三春季对学生进行培训。 CSUMB 的本科生研究机会中心 在夏季，学生（现在即将升入高年级）将参加。 如果可能的话，优秀的学生将被安排在实验室与 UCSC 导师一起工作。 放置在同时接待 UCSC 本科生的实验室中，这将鼓励同行指导，并将 帮助建立 CSUMB 和 UCSC 学生之间的亲和力并培养社区意识。 高年级，学生将返回 CSUMB 继续学习两个学期的课程并 在可能的情况下，根据夏季实验室研究经验继续研究。 项目将持续整个学年，导师将继续协同支持学生 所有伟大的学者也将参与基因组学专业发展。 教育和研究生院准备讲习班和课程将包括基于技能的讲习班。 基本编程、数据结构和算法、基本统计以及 UCSC- 的使用说明 基于基因组浏览器和 Xena 浏览器等工具，同时专业开发和基因组 教育课程将涵盖科学写作和交流、职业道路理解、 负责任的研究行为和道德、基因组学中的法律和社会影响问题、特定领域 基因组学和其他主题的研究探究，以支持学者作为科学家身份的发展， 他们的科学价值观以及他们在 UCSC 的实验室安置和夏季活动的协调。 由基因组学研究所多样性项目办公室 (GIOD) 管理 通过该项目，五个队列。 将广泛培养一批伟大的学者，并建立一个平台，鼓励和 指导其他学生在基因组科学领域追求自己的职业生涯。
