Abstract: This is a new application to support twelve graduate students in their second year of a Ph.D. Program in Genetics and Genomics (PGG) at Harvard Medical School (HMS). Scientists in the fields of genetics and genomics are at the forefront of our Nation’s efforts to understand how life works and to diagnose and treat human disease. The mission of PGG is to provide a diverse group of students with the intellectual, technical, and professional training that they will need to become future leaders in the fields of genetics and genomics. Training derives from a customized curriculum, which emphasizes rigor and reproducibility in research, technical training, training in scientific communication, professional networking, industry internship opportunities, and, of course, dissertation research. PGG students carry out Ph.D. research in one of forty laboratories centered around, but not exclusive to, the Department of Genetics at HMS. Laboratories of training faculty are well-funded and study a wide range of topics in the fields of genetics and genomics, which range from prokaryotic gene regulation to human biology and disease. Students supported by the training grant are part of the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) program at HMS, which is a large umbrella program that draws in a top group of graduate students each year. PGG provides a self-selected group of BBS students with the opportunity to be part of a close-knit community focused on technical and professional training in the area of genetics and genomics. PGG students are required to concentrate their course work in the fields of genetics and genomics, including a requirement to take at least one course in the quantitative analysis of biological data, and one course overtly covering the need for rigor and reproducibility in modern biomedical research. PGG students also participate in a set of programmatic activities, including (1) an annual symposium, (2) attend and present at student-led monthly research presentations, 3) networking opportunities with like-minded senior students and postdocs, including those studying clinical genetics, and (4) hosting outside genetics or genomics-oriented scientists for seminars. Students will be guided in courses and rotation selections by Program Advisors and by Dissertation Advisory Committees (DAC), which will include PGG trainers. Student progress will be monitored via course grades, PA evaluations, DAC updates, G3 research talks, and by faculty attendance at student seminars in the Genetics Department Data Club series. PGG curriculum and policy will be guided by evidence-based teaching approaches incorporated into curriculum, by course and program evaluations, and by a Steering Committee composed of PGG trainers and senior PGG students. Together, the training plan will give PGG students the skills they need to become leaders in the fields of genetics and genomics and to lead future efforts using the genetics and genomic sciences to promote human health.

抽象的： 这是一项新的申请，以在博士学位的第二年支持十二名研究生。遗传学计划 哈佛医学院（HMS）的基因组学（PGG）。遗传学和基因组学领域的科学家处于 我们国家为了解生活如何运作以及诊断和治疗人类疾病的最前沿。 PGG的使命是为一群学生提供智力，技术和专业培训 他们将需要成为遗传学和基因组学领域的未来领导者。训练来自 定制课程，强调研究，技术培训，培训的严格性和可重复性 科学沟通，专业网络，行业实习机会，当然还有论文 研究。 PGG学生获得博士学位。在四十个实验室中的一个研究中，但不是排他性的 到HMS的遗传学系。培训教师的实验室资金丰富，研究广泛 遗传学和基因组学领域的主题，范围从原核基因调节到人类生物学 和疾病。受培训赠款支持的学生是生物学和生物医学科学（BBS）的一部分 HMS的计划，这是一个大型伞计划，每年都会吸引一群顶级研究生。 PGG为一组自我选择的BBS学生提供了成为紧密联系社区的一部分的机会 专注于遗传学和基因组学领域的技术和专业培训。需要PGG学生 将他们的课程工作集中在遗传学和基因组学领域，包括至少需要 定量分析生物数据的一门课程，一门课程过于涵盖对严格和严格的需求 现代生物医学研究中的可重复性。 PGG学生还参加了一系列程序化活动， 包括（1）年度研讨会，（2）参加学生主导的每月研究演讲，3） 与志趣相投的高年级学生和博士后建立网络机会，包括学习临床的人 遗传学和（4）托管遗传学或以基因组学为导向的科学家的遗传学。学生将被指导 在计划顾问和论文咨询委员会（DAC）的课程和轮换选择中， 将包括PGG培训师。学生的进度将通过课程等级，PA评估，DAC更新， G3研究会谈，并在遗传学系数据俱乐部系列中的学生中学辅导。 PGG课程和政策将由纳入课程的基于证据的教学方法来指导， 通过课程和计划评估，由PGG培训师和高级PGG组成的指导委员会 学生。培训计划将为PGG学生提供成为领导者所需的技能 遗传学和基因组学，并利用遗传学和基因组科学领导未来的努力来促进人类 健康。
