This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) scientists have many years of experience teaching bioinformatics techniques to both academic and industrial researchers. In collaboration with minority serving partner institutions, a special technology transfer and outreach program has been developed to help increase minority participation in biomedical research. This effort, funded through the National Institutes of Health Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program includes: * An intense two-week Summer Institute in Bioinformatics at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center open to faculty and graduate students at minority serving institutions. The session focuses on preparing faculty to teach a semester long bioinformatics course organized around analyzing a gene or protein family. * A seven-week research internship at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center for students that have completed bioinformatics training on their local campus. * The development of a model curriculum for Bioinformatics including related course materials for the fields of Biology, Computational Science and Mathematics. Elements from these courses are incorporated into the workshop as they are completed. * Assistance in establishing and strengthening the Bioinformatics programs at two minority serving campuses each year, including teaching assistance for newly established courses.

该子项目是利用资源的众多研究子项目之一 由 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 并且子项目的首席研究员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其他 NIH 来源。 子项目可能列出的总成本 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， NCRR 赠款不直接向子项目或子项目工作人员提供资金。 匹兹堡超级计算中心 (PSC) 的科学家拥有多年向学术和工业研究人员教授生物信息学技术的经验。与少数族裔服务伙伴机构合作，制定了一项特殊的技术转让和推广计划，以帮助增加少数族裔参与生物医学研究。这项工作由美国国立卫生研究院少数族裔研究职业机会 (MARC) 计划资助，包括： * 在匹兹堡超级计算中心举办为期两周的密集生物信息学暑期学院，向少数族裔服务机构的教师和研究生开放。该课程的重点是让教师做好准备，教授围绕基因或蛋白质家族分析而组织的为期一个学期的生物信息学课程。 * 在匹兹堡超级计算中心为在当地校园完成生物信息学培训的学生提供为期七周的研究实习。 * 开发生物信息学模型课程，包括生物学、计算科学和数学领域的相关课程材料。这些课程的内容在完成后将被纳入研讨会中。 * 每年协助两个少数族裔服务校园建立和加强生物信息学项目，包括为新设立的课程提供教学援助。
