项目摘要

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.

项目概要/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，从而使研究人员能够找到改善健康和预防疾病的更好方法。 (TiGeR) Track 将吸引来自代表性不足群体的学生，例如来自种族和/或少数民族的学生群体、残疾人、性少数群体和弱势群体该计划将针对来自这些代表性不足的社区的具有本科背景的合格候选人。拥有计算机科学、数学或统计学学位，但处理基因组数据集的经验有限或没有。 TiGeR Track 项目的主要目标是帮助学生为成为以下领域的计算专家的成功职业生涯做好准备：这一目标将通过我们在两个领域内有针对性的招募和保留努力来实现。年研究生课程最终获得生物数据科学硕士学位，专注于基因组学 TiGeR Track 的研究将被纳入我们最近设立的生物数据科学硕士学位 (MSBDS)。 MSBDS 是一个跨学科项目，利用了专业领域的三大支柱。亚利桑那州立大学 (ASU) 数学与自然科学学院 (SMNS) 西区：计算机科学、生活然而，MSBDS 目前不关注基因组学研究或生物信息学，并且除了广泛的课程作业和受监督的实践研究活动外，TiGeR Track 将有助于填补这一空白。 TiGeR 的学生将在 AnVIL 中接受培训 - 一个基于云的计算基因组学平台以及其他使用公开数据集和存储库的基因组学工具集，结合了对基因组学研究和存储的强烈关注。大规模数据分析技能将使我们的 TiGeR 毕业生成为行业和行业的直接且有价值的贡献者。基因组科学领域的研究工作。我们将瞄准、招募和留住多元化的学生，以培养他们成为下一代的思想领袖。通过招募代表我们机构周围社区的学生，我们将最大限度地发挥基因组科学的作用。在区域层面与周边社区建立更深入的联系，并培养具有竞争力的多元化科学劳动力 TiGeR Track 计划将在全球范围内提供基因组学跨学科合作的模式。 SMNS 的教职人员和校内外的其他利益相关者为从事基因组学职业做好准备。科学方面，TiGeR Track 毕业生需要扎实的创造力基础以及识别和实现目标的能力在其任职期间对生物医学和生物科学研究事业具有重要意义的科学目标。 TiGeR Track 项目中，学生将培养在公共领域利用和分析基因组数据集的技能研究实验室环境已经存在强大的跨学科和沉浸式教学结构。 MSBDS 学位课程内的科学培训，需要额外资源来建立基因组科学课程，特别是以支持来自代表性不足背景的学生的方式。提交此补助金申请。
