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： 这是一个新的应用程序，旨在支持 12 名遗传学博士课程第二年的研究生。 哈佛医学院 (HMS) 的基因组学 (PGG) 是遗传学和基因组学领域的科学家。 我们国家努力了解生命的运作方式以及诊断和治疗人类疾病的最前沿。 PGG 的使命是为多元化的学生群体提供智力、技术和专业培训 他们需要成为遗传学和基因组学领域的未来领导者 培训源自于。 定制课程，强调研究、技术培训、培训的严谨性和可重复性 科学传播、专业网络、行业实习机会，当然还有论文 PGG 学生在 40 个实验室之一进行博士学位研究，但不限于此。 HMS 遗传学系的培训师资雄厚，研究范围广泛。 遗传学和基因组学领域的主题，范围从原核基因调控到人类生物学 获得培训补助金支持的学生是生物和生物医学科学（BBS）的一部分。 HMS 项目是一个大型伞式项目，每年都会吸引一批顶尖的研究生。 PGG 为自选的 BBS 学生群体提供了成为紧密社区一部分的机会 需要专注于遗传学和基因组学领域的技术和专业培训。 将课程集中在遗传学和基因组学领域，包括要求至少修读 一门课程涉及生物数据的定量分析，一门课程公开涵盖了严谨性和准确性的需求 现代生物医学研究的可重复性 PGG 学生还参加一系列计划活动， 包括 (1) 年度研讨会，(2) 参加并出席学生主导的每月研究报告，3) 与志趣相投的高年级学生和博士后（包括那些学习临床的学生）建立联系的机会 遗传学，以及（4）接待外部遗传学或基因组学科学家参加研讨会。 课程顾问和论文咨询委员会 (DAC) 进行的课程和轮换选择， 将包括 PGG 培训师，将通过课程成绩、PA 评估、DAC 更新来监控学生的进度。 G3 研究讲座，以及教师参加遗传学系数据俱乐部系列的学生研讨会。 PGG 课程和政策将以纳入课程的循证教学方法为指导， 由课程和项目评估以及由 PGG 培训师和高级 PGG 组成的指导委员会 该培训计划将为 PGG 学生提供成为该领域领导者所需的技能。 遗传学和基因组学的研究，并领导未来利用遗传学和基因组科学促进人类发展的努力 健康。
