The overarching goal of this application is to provide a high quality mentored research experience for promising students in the rapidly growing area of genome sciences and precision medicine. Students interested in pursuing a career in genome sciences and medicine research will require a strong foundation of core genome sciences technology and inter-disciplinary training. We propose a 10-week summer program that will include a mentored research project in genome sciences and medicine, didactic and interactive training, and interaction with academic and industry scientists. The program will be open to undergraduate students, particularly under-represented minorities (URM), at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and Duke University. Students will have a range of research opportunities to select from the pool of 34 mentors working on projects in applied genome sciences, data sciences, translational genomic medicine, bioinformatics and computational biology, engineering, and statistics. The summer program builds upon our rich experience in undergraduate mentorship and training by the former Duke Institute of Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) and currently administered by the Duke Center for Genomic and Computational Biology (GCB) and past partnership with NCCU. Through these programs, we have accepted more than 150 students, 22% of whom are from under-represented minorities and more than half of whom are women; several have successfully continued their research throughout their undergraduate career and been accepted into leading graduate programs and medical schools around the country. The research experience will be complemented by a series of training lectures and interactive learning activities from the core GCB facilities (proteomics/ metabolomics, sequencing, microarrays, and biostatistics), visits to NCCU and companies using genome sciences technologies or data in their research in nearby Research Triangle Park, and science-related community service activities. In addition, students will have the opportunity to consider broader issues impacted by their research through a weekly discussion on the ethical, legal, social, and policy issues and gain important skills such as critical reading a scientific paper, leading a discussion group, conducting literature reviews, and making formal presentations. All students will be required to present their research at the conclusion of the program. If needed to ensure a diverse student group each summer, we will expand our recruitment to other schools in the region, including several Historically Black Universities and Colleges (HBUCs) and establish partnerships with other local institutions during the course of the award to expand the student pool. In summary, students in this program will benefit from the rich and highly interdisciplinary resources available at Duke for genome sciences and medicine research.

该应用程序的总体目标是为以下人员提供高质量的指导研究体验： 在快速发展的基因组科学和精准医学领域有前途的学生。学生 有兴趣从事基因组科学和医学研究的职业需要有坚实的基础 核心基因组科学技术和跨学科培训。我们提议为期 10 周的暑期课程 将包括基因组科学和医学、教学和互动培训方面的指导研究项目， 以及与学术界和工业界科学家的互动。该计划将向本科生开放， 北卡罗来纳中央大学 (NCCU) 和杜克大学的少数族裔 (URM) 大学。学生将有一系列研究机会，可以从 34 名正在工作的导师中进行选择 应用基因组科学、数据科学、转化基因组医学、生物信息学和 计算生物学、工程学和统计学。暑期项目建立在我们丰富的经验之上 由前杜克大学基因组科学与政策研究所 (IGSP) 提供的本科生指导和培训以及 目前由杜克大学基因组和计算生物学中心 (GCB) 管理，过去 与NCCU合作。通过这些项目，我们已经录取了超过 150 名学生，其中 22% 来自代表性不足的少数群体，其中一半以上是女性；有几个已经成功 在整个本科生涯中继续他们的研究并被顶尖研究生录取 全国各地的项目和医学院。研究经验将通过一系列的补充 来自 GCB 核心设施的培训讲座和互动学习活动（蛋白质组学/代谢组学、 测序、微阵列和生物统计学），参观国立政治大学和使用基因组科学的公司 在附近的三角研究园和科学相关社区进行研究的技术或数据 服务活动。此外，学生将有机会考虑受他们的影响的更广泛的问题 通过每周讨论道德、法律、社会和政策问题进行研究并获得重要技能 例如批判性阅读科学论文、领导讨论小组、进行文献综述，以及 进行正式演示。所有学生都必须在课程结束时展示他们的研究成果 程序。如果需要确保每年夏天都有多元化的学生群体，我们会将招生范围扩大到其他地区 该地区的学校，包括几所历史悠久的黑人大学和学院 (HBUC)，并建立 在颁奖期间与其他当地机构建立伙伴关系，以扩大学生群体。在 总之，该项目的学生将受益于丰富且高度跨学科的资源 杜克大学基因组科学和医学研究。
