项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Human and Mammalian Genetics and Genomics: the McKusick Short Course, developed through a six- decade long partnership between Johns Hopkins University and The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), trains the next generation of basic research and medical genetics professionals. The McKusick Short Course is purposefully an intense, two-week program that covers human and mouse genetic and genomics processes and the mechanisms of human disease. The course offers ~45 lectures, 10 workshops and eight evening lectures over a 12-day period, uniquely providing medical genetics, mouse genetics, and ethical, legal and social implications of genomics content training. The content delivered by the short course would normally be covered by one or many more graduate-level, semester-long university courses. With graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty from U.S. universities being the dominant audience, the course attracts ~115 trainees each year. JAX leverages valuable scholarship funds from the NIH, the March of Dimes, and a HHMI Advanced Courses grant to allow accepted underrepresented minority (URM) trainees to attend the course without any registration or housing fee. Moreover JAX is committed to expanding the participation of URM participants and faculty beyond the sixteen percent who have participated in the last four years. Both faculty and trainee participants make important connections at the course, leading to postdoctoral fellowships, research collaborations, and creation of important academic networks. Going forward the course also will have a larger impact through webcasting of lectures and seminars. The overall goal of the McKusick Short Course is to train young scientists in medical and experimental genetics and genomics such that participants can become the next generation of biomedical research leaders and clinician scientists.

项目概要/摘要人类和哺乳动物遗传学和基因组学：麦库西克短期课程，通过六项课程开发约翰·霍普金斯大学和杰克逊实验室 (JAX) 之间长达十年的合作关系，培训了下一代基础研究和医学遗传学专业人员。麦库斯克短期课程是有目的地进行为期两周的密集计划，涵盖人类和小鼠遗传和基因组学过程以及人类疾病的机制。该课程提供约 45 场讲座、10 场研讨会和 8 场晚会为期 12 天的讲座，独特地提供医学遗传学、小鼠遗传学以及伦理、法律和基因组学内容培训的社会影响。短期课程教授的内容通常是涵盖一门或多门研究生水平、为期一个学期的大学课程。和研究生一起，来自美国大学的博士后研究员和教师是主要受众，该课程吸引了约 115 名学员每年都有实习生。 JAX 利用来自 NIH、March of Dimes 和 HHMI 的宝贵奖学金资金高级课程补助金允许接受的代表性不足的少数族裔 (URM) 学员参加该课程无需任何注册费或住宿费。此外，JAX 致力于扩大 URM 的参与过去四年参加过活动的参与者和教师超过百分之十六。双方教员学员参与者在课程中建立了重要的联系，从而获得博士后奖学金，研究合作以及重要学术网络的创建。未来课程还将有通过讲座和研讨会的网络广播产生更大的影响。麦库斯克短期课程的总体目标是培训医学和实验遗传学和基因组学领域的年轻科学家，使参与者能够成为下一代生物医学研究领导者和临床科学家。
