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.

项目概要/摘要 杰克逊实验室 (JAX) 多样性行动计划 (DAP) 基因组学学士学位后项目的目标 是为来自代表性不足群体的个人提供变革性的、受指导的研究经验 重点关注目标是在基因组相关领域攻读高级学位和职业的学员。 来自以下国家的个人对 STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）的参与度较低 代表性不足的群体是全国公认的问题（国家科学院出版社，2011）。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 限制了获得优质科学教育的机会，进而阻碍了我们国家研究能力的扩展 限制大量智力人才的贡献。 该计划将受益于 JAX 在培训各个职业阶段的科学家方面九十年的成功经验，包括 通过其世界领先的小鼠遗传学、基因组学和计算技术，来自代表性不足的群体 资源，以及其资金充足且富有成效的师资力量。该计划将建立在程序化基础设施之上 职业发展和来自 JAX 现有的 BACC 后项目的 BACC 后同行社区。这 基因组学 DAP 将不同于现有的 bacc 后项目，因为拟议项目的重点将是 专注于基因组学、基因组技术和数据领域基础研究的职业发展 科学。 该计划将在一年内接待多达六名学士学位后研究员，个人分布在整个律师协会 缅因州哈伯和康涅狄格州法明顿 JAX 校区。该计划的三个主要目标是 (1) 提供两年的指导性本科后研究经验，涉及基因组学、基因组技术和 针对代表性不足的少数群体的个人的数据科学； (2) 实施课程，提供 与指导实验室研究经验互补的知识、技能和培训，(3) 结合正式和非正式的评估方法来加强培训计划。监督 项目将由两个 PI（每个校区各一名）以及 JAX 基因组项目工作人员提供 教育团队。由内部和外部人员组成的咨询委员会将评估该计划的效果 有效性并为维持包容和公平的研究工作场所提供指导。 后 BACC 项目的校友将有助于建立一支代表以下领域的研究队伍： 我们国家的人口。他们将带来独特的视角和个人进取精神来制定和推进 造福所有人的基因组学和数据科学研究议程。
