项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UW GenOM Project: The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop and sustain a comprehensive umbrella program to coordinate recruitment, retention, and training activities for groups that are currently significantly underrepresented in genomic science, focusing on African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Filipino Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. This proposal will build upon the successes of the UW GenOM project to date, affiliated on-campus resources for underrepresented students, as well as the expertise of the scientists and faculty involved in the University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences, the UW Genome Training Grant, other NIH-funded research centers and training grants, and relevant academic departments at the University of Washington. The program will increase the pipeline of genomic science-focused students from underrepresented populations transitioning from their freshman year through their undergraduate studies, and from there into competitive graduate programs, with the goal that some of these students will eventually become Principal Investigators in academia or Senior Scientists in the life sciences industry.

描述（由申请人提供）：UW基因组项目：该提案的总体目标是制定和维持一项全面的保护伞计划，以协调招聘，保留和培训活动，这些群体目前在基因组科学领域的代表性不足，重点是非洲人，美国人，美国本地人，阿拉斯加群岛，阿拉斯利亚人，菲利普群岛，菲利普群岛，菲利普群岛，艾里普群岛，艾里普群岛，艾利皮群岛，艾利皮群岛和艾利皮群岛，居住在非洲人，美国人，美国原住民，艾利皮群岛，黑ai岛。该提议将基于迄今为止UW Genom项目的成功，隶属于代表性不足的学生的校园资源，以及参与华盛顿大学基因组科学系的科学家和教职员工的专业知识，UW Genome Genome Training Grant，UTE Genome Training Grant，NIH资助的NIH资助的研究中心和其他由华盛顿大学的NIH资助的研究中心以及华盛顿大学的学术学院。该计划将增加以基因组科学为中心的学生的渠道，从代表性不足的人群过渡到本科生，并从那里转变为竞争激烈的研究生课程，其目标是其中一些学生最终将成为生活科学行业的学术界或高级科学家的主要研究人员。
