Project Summary/Abstract The project will create a coordinating center to deliver mentoring and research experiences in STEM for high school students from groups historically excluded in the sciences (e.g., ethnic and gender minorities, rural students, economically disadvantaged) across Department of Health & Human Services Region A. This will be done by training mentors (from minority serving and predominantly undergraduate institutions, as well as state schools) in advanced genomics techniques and inclusive pedagogy. Mentors from across the region will be trained and equipped by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center to bring advanced genomics into their mentoring and teaching. An extensive outreach effort will select high school students to be paired with regional mentors for an eight-week summer research experience, concluding with a research symposium presentation at NIH. Students will then continue into an extended nine-month mentoring program where they will continue their research work, data science skill building, and exposure to STEM career opportunities, especially in genomics areas relevant to NIKDD mission areas. Ultimately, a sustainable network of mentors and students will create new, inclusive opportunities that diversify the nation’s STEM workforce.

项目概要/摘要 该项目将创建一个协调中心，为高水平学生提供 STEM 方面的指导和研究经验。 来自历史上被排除在科学之外的群体的学生（例如，少数民族和性别少数群体、农村 卫生与公众服务部 A 区的学生、经济弱势群体）。这将是 由培训导师（来自少数族裔服务机构和以本科院校为主的机构，以及州立机构）完成 来自该地区的先进基因组学技术和包容性教学法的导师将参与其中。 由冷泉港实验室 DNA 学习中心提供培训和装备，带来先进的基因组学 我们将通过广泛的外展工作来选择与他们配对的高中生。 区域导师提供为期八周的夏季研究经验，并以研究研讨会结束 然后，学生将继续参加为期九个月的延长指导计划。 继续他们的研究工作、数据科学技能培养以及接触 STEM 职业机会，尤其是 最终，建立一个可持续的导师和学生网络。 将创造新的、包容性的机会，使国家的 STEM 劳动力多样化。
