项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Diversifying the genomics workforce is recognized as a strategic imperative if all people are to benefit from recent and anticipated advances in genomic science and precision medicine. The Workforce Development Core will be focused on expanding the cadre of individuals with expert knowledge and skills in human genomics and on fostering genomic literacy among the general public, especially among Mexican Americans. The Core will advance the career development of minority scientists and trainees in genomic research, helping to address the broad national need for more scientists from underrepresented backgrounds in biomedical research. The Workforce Development Core will leverage two highly innovative research projects to provide genomics training and research experiences to students, postdocs, residents, and faculty from across the University. We will actively seek faculty trainees from outside biology and biomedical sciences by working with the College of Education and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The Workforce Development Core will have work to improve genomic literacy and enhance interest in genomics and careers in genomics through training targeted to K-12 educators and healthcare providers. Working closely with the College of Education, we propose to offer innovative short-courses in genomics, genomics research experiences, and dissertation or thesis support to graduate students in education and teachers in local school districts. We will provide genomics-oriented research career enhancement opportunities through creation of a Genomic Research Success Program that will provide training in grantsmanship and dissemination of research results. Additionally, we will foster synergy with other existing institutional and national career development activities. Finally, we will establish a mentoring program to foster the growth of research in human genetics and genomics through one-on-one mentoring and guidance in genomic research. Working with local school districts, we will participate in career days and other activities to promote awareness of careers in genetics.

项目摘要如果所有人都可以从最近并预期基因组科学和精确医学的进步。劳动力发展核心将专注于扩大具有人类基因组学专业知识和技能的个人干部以及促进公众，尤其是墨西哥裔美国人中的基因组素养。核心意愿推进基因组研究中少数族裔科学家和学员的职业发展，有助于解决在生物医学研究领域代表性不足背景的更多科学家对更多的科学家的需求。这劳动力发展核心将利用两个高度创新的研究项目来提供基因组学培训以及来自大学的学生，博士后，居民和教职员工的研究经验。我们将通过与学院合作，积极寻求外部生物学和生物医学科学的教师。教育与工程与计算机科学学院。劳动力发展核心将拥有通过培训来提高基因组学素养并提高基因组学和职业的兴趣的努力针对K-12教育者和医疗保健提供者。与教育学院紧密合作，我们建议提供创新的基因组学，基因组学研究经验以及论文或论文支持的缩写在当地学区的教育和教师的研究生。我们将提供面向基因组学的通过创建基因组研究成功计划的研究职业增强机会提供授予技巧的培训和研究结果的传播。此外，我们将与其他现有的机构和国家职业发展活动。最后，我们将建立一个指导通过一对一的指导和基因组研究指导。与当地学区合作，我们将参加职业生涯和其他促进对遗传学职业意识的活动。
