项目摘要

Project Summary/Abstract This GREAT Program will develop genomics opportunities for students at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) through a collaboration with Texas A&M University (TAMU) TAMU is one of the largest Hispanic-serving institutions in the United States with over 4000 students majoring in biomedical or biological sciences, and PVAMU is an HBCU comprised of 86% black students and >50% first generation students. While these institutions are separated by 40 miles, there have historically been few collaborations in the area of biomedical science. This program will develop a Course-based undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) focusing on using genomic and bioinformatic approaches to predict the function of unannotated genes. The CURE will be co- taught by PVAMU and TAMU faculty. Over the summer students will participate in research in a TAMU genomics lab. These research opportunities will be complemented by workshops, networking events, and other training opportunities. Together, the proposed program will foster critical thinking, self-empowerment, and provides students the skills and training necessary to enter PhD programs in genomics, or to enter the workforce in a genomics-related area. Taken together, this program will strengthen genomics programming at PVAMU, develop ties between the two universities, and promote diversity in genomic sciences.

项目概要/摘要这个伟大的项目将为 Prairie View A&M 的学生提供基因组学机会大学 (PVAMU) 通过与德克萨斯 A&M 大学 (TAMU) 合作 TAMU 是其中之一美国最大的西班牙裔服务机构，拥有超过 4000 名学生，主修生物医学或生物科学，PVAMU 是一个 HBCU，由 86% 的黑人学生和 >50%第一代学生。虽然这些机构相距 40 英里，但历史上，生物医学领域的合作很少。该计划将发展基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURE），重点是使用基因组和预测未注释基因功能的生物信息学方法。 CURE 将共同由 PVAMU 和 TAMU 教师授课。暑假期间，学生将参与以下项目的研究： TAMU 基因组学实验室。这些研究机会将通过研讨会得到补充，社交活动和其他培训机会。总之，拟议的计划将促进批判性思维、自我赋权，并为学生提供必要的技能和培训进入基因组学博士课程，或进入基因组学相关领域的工作岗位。采取该计划将共同加强 PVAMU 的基因组学规划，发展两所大学，并促进基因组科学的多样性。
