The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience in Genomic Medicine (SURE-GM) is intended to provide exposure to research in genomic medicine to rising juniors from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Alabama. The program is a collaboration of the University of Alabama at Birmingham and HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Huntsville, AL. Students are recruited through mailings and, where possible, in-person visits by study staff to HBCUs in the state. The program is designed as a two-summer experience. The first summer is spent at HudsonAlpha with a combination of didactic and hands-on laboratory experiences intended to familiarize students with genetics and genomics as well as basic laboratory practices. This is important, since many students who enter the program have had little or no previous exposure to genetics, genomics, or to work in a laboratory. The second summer is spent at UAB, working in a research laboratory under the mentorship of a senior faculty member and associates in their lab. A number of career counseling seminars and events are provided as well. Students present a poster on their work at the end of the second summer at UAB. During the five years of the program, 41 students from a variety of HBCUs have participated in the program. Funding for this program is set to expire in August 2023 and an application is expected to be submitted in response to the new Diversity Action Plan RFA to be issued this summer. Funding associated with this RFA would not be available in time to recruit a new group of students for the summer of 2024. In order to maintain continuity of the program, supplemental funding will allow matriculation of a group of students to attend a one-year program in the summer of 2024. Because this would preclude commitment to a two-year program, the introduction year to genetics, genomics, and laboratory practice will be omitted from the program and a smaller number of students will be recruited who have had some previous exposure to work in a laboratory. Despite this change, it is important to continue to offer the program uninterrupted, to foster established relationships of UAB and HudsonAlpha with many of the HBCUs in the state. Hence, for the summer of 2024 supplemental funds would support a one-year program where students will have the opportunity to choose to work either at UAB in a research laboratory or at HudsonAlpha with a faculty investigator or a biotechnology company hosted on the HudsonAlpha campus. As in the past, seminars will be provided intended to provide career counseling to students and an opportunity for students to present their work at the end of the summer. Of note, this is a proposal for an extension with funds requested for the period of performance of September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2024.

夏季基因组医学（肯定GM）的夏季本科研究经验旨在提供接触 基因组医学的研究对阿拉巴马州历史悠久的黑人学院（HBCU）的崛起大三学生的研究。这 计划是阿拉巴马大学伯明翰大学的合作，以及哈德森帕帕生物技术研究所 阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔。学生是通过邮寄以及研究人员到HBCU的亲自访问来招募的 国家。该程序被设计为两夏的体验。第一个夏天是在哈德萨尔帕（Hudsonalpha）度过的 教学和动手实验室经验的结合，旨在使学生熟悉遗传学和 基因组学以及基本实验室实践。这很重要，因为许多进入该计划的学生已经 以前几乎没有接触遗传学，基因组学或在实验室工作。第二个夏天在UAB度过 在高级教师和同事在其实验室中的心态下，在研究实验室工作。一个数字 还提供了职业咨询和活动。学生在结束时在工作中介绍了一张海报 在UAB的第二个夏天。在该计划的五年中，来自各种HBCU的41名学生参加了 该程序。该计划的资金定于2023年8月到期，预计将提交申请 对今年夏天发布的新多样性行动计划RFA的响应。与此RFA相关的资金不会 在2024年夏季招募一组新学生。为了保持连续性 计划，补充资金将允许一组学生的矩阵参加一年的课程 2024年夏季。因为这将排除对为期两年的计划的承诺，即遗传学的一年，所以 该计划将省略基因组学和实验室实践，少数学生将被招募 以前曾在实验室工作的人。尽管发生了这种变化，但重要的是继续提供 该计划不间断，以建立UAB和Hudsonalpha与许多HBCU的关系 状态。因此，在2024年夏天，补充资金将支持一年的计划，学生将拥有 有机会选择在研究实验室在UAB或​​与教职员工一起在Hudsonalpha工作的机会 一家生物技术公司在Hudsonalpha校园内举办。与过去一样，将提供旨在 向学生提供职业咨询，并有机会在夏季结束时展示自己的作品。 值得一提 2024年8月31日。
