PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Diversity Action Plan (DAP) post-baccalaureate program in genomics is to provide a transformative, mentored research experience for individuals from underrepresented groups with an emphasis on trainees whose goals are to pursue advanced degrees and careers in genome-related fields. Low participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) by individuals from underrepresented groups is a recognized problem nationally (National Academies Press, 2011). Lack of exposure to scientific research resources and mentors, economic factors, and cultural biases are barriers that limit access to quality science education and, in turn, hinder the expansion of our nation's research capacity by limiting contributions from a deep pool of intellectual talent. The program will benefit from JAX's nine decades of success in training scientists at all career stages, including those from underrepresented groups, by its world-leading mouse genetic, genomic, and computational resources, and by its well-funded and productive faculty. The program will build upon programmatic infrastructure for career development and a community of post-bacc peers from an existing post-bacc program at JAX. The genomics DAP will be distinct from the existing post-bacc program as the focus for the proposed program will be specifically on career development for basic research in the areas of genomics, genome technology, and data science. The program will host up to six post-baccalaureate fellows in a year with individuals distributed across the Bar Harbor, Maine and Farmington, Connecticut JAX campuses. The three primary aims for the program will be (1) Provide two-year mentored post-baccalaureate research experiences in genomics, genome technologies, and data science for individuals from underrepresented minority groups; (2) Implement a curriculum that provides knowledge, skills, and training complementary to the mentored laboratory research experience and, (3) Incorporate formal and informal evaluation methods to strengthen the training program. Oversight for the program will be provided by two PIs, one from each campus, and by Program Staff from the JAX Genomic Education team. An Advisory Council comprised of internal and external individuals will evaluate the program's effectiveness and provide guidance on sustaining a research workplace that is inclusive and equitable. The alumni from the post-bacc program will contribute to building a research workforce that is representative of our nation's population. They will bring unique perspectives and individual enterprise to setting and advancing a research agenda in genomics and data science that benefits all people.

项目摘要/摘要 杰克逊实验室（JAX）多样性行动计划（DAP）基因组学计划的目标 是为来自代表性不足的群体的个人提供一种变革性的，受过指导的研究经验 强调目标是在基因组相关领域中追求高级学位和职业的学员。 低参与STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）的参与 代表性不足的群体在全国范围内是一个公认的问题（国家科学院出版社，2011年）。缺乏 接触科学研究资源和导师，经济因素和文化偏见是障碍 限制获得优质科学教育的机会，进而阻碍我们国家研究能力的扩大 限制了深厚的知识人才的贡献。 该计划将受益于JAX在所有职业阶段的培训科学家的成功九十年，包括 那些来自代表性不足的群体，其世界领先的小鼠遗传，基因组和计算 资源及其资金丰富且富有成效的教师。该计划将基于程序化基础架构 用于职业发展和JAX现有后BACC计划的BACC后同行社区。这 基因组DAP将与现有的BACC计划不同，因为拟议程序的重点将 专门研究基因组学，基因组技术和数据领域的基础研究的职业发展 科学。 该计划将在一年中最多举办六个后库爵士的研究员，个人分布在酒吧 缅因州港口和康涅狄格州JAX校园的法明顿。该程序的三个主要目标将是（1） 提供两年的指导基因组学，基因组技术和基因组技术的研究后研究经验 来自代表性不足的少数群体的个人数据科学； （2）实施提供的课程 知识，技能和培训补充了指导的实验室研究经验和（3） 纳入正式和非正式评估方法来加强培训计划。监督 计划将由两个PI，每个校园中的一个以及JAX基因组的计划人员提供计划 教育团队。由内部和外部个人组成的咨询委员会将评估该计划的 有效性并为维持包容性和公平的研究工作场所提供指导。 BACC计划的校友将有助于建立一项研究人员 我们国家的人口。他们将带来独特的观点和个人企业来设定和推进 在基因组学和数据科学方面的研究议程，使所有人受益。
