项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Genetic counselors have rigorous training in genetics and extensive skills in communicating the impact of genetic disease while facilitating coping. There are ~ 6,000 Certified genetics counselors who work in broad areas of medicine and science. The Fellowship in Genomics Outcomes Research (FIGOR) pairs genetic counselors seeking additional training and mentorship in research with leading scientists in genomic research. Facilitating genetic counselors' involvement in research will enhance the quality of the science of genomic and personalized medicine through interdisciplinary collaborations. We request funding for up to 7 genetic counselor scholars who would each commit to 0.5 FTE of research over 24 months. The long term goal is for these genetic counselors to contribute as investigators to genomic research by seeking funding, conducting and collaborating in research, presenting and publishing translational research beyond the clinical spaces where genetic counselors have typically contributed. The training begins with exploration of research opportunities and development of an individualized research plan. Included in the research plan is an educational plan which outlines their timeline and tasks to gain the skills necessary for their research. Students will interact with leaders in genomic and personalized medicine through their collaborations, research seminars, and attendance at national meetings. This measured and focused timeline will allow scholars to craft an immersive experience while benefiting from the unique and plentiful resources at Vanderbilt including BioVU, the Data and Research Center for NIH’s “All of Us”, the Undiagnosed Disease Program, eMERGE, and the ICARE registry. With the establishment in 2015 of the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute, Vanderbilt has committed substantial resources for recruitment of diverse and collaborative faculty in genetics and genomics. The Vanderbilt Master of Genetic counseling degree program has demonstrated how GCs are successfully engaged in research at Vanderbilt. Of the 11 recent graduates 9 have presented at national or international meetings. Graduates have published 5 articles in 3 different journals. Skills-focused classroom instruction will complement experienced-based learning through research and active collaboration with experienced mentors. Through these collaborations both the mentee and the mentors will contribute to the growth of genomic research outcomes for personalized medicine.

项目概要/摘要遗传咨询师接受过严格的遗传学培训，并拥有丰富的沟通技能遗传疾病的影响，同时促进应对有约 6,000 种经过认证的遗传学。在医学和科学广泛领域工作的顾问。结果研究 (FIGOR) 为寻求额外培训的遗传咨询师配对，并与基因组研究领域的顶尖科学家一起进行研究指导。辅导员参与研究将提高基因组科学的质量我们请求为最多 7 个项目提供资金。遗传咨询学者每人将在 24 个月内投入 0.5 FTE 的研究。长期目标是让这些遗传咨询师作为研究人员为基因组研究做出贡献通过寻求资金、在研究、展示和出版方面进行和合作遗传咨询师通常从事的临床领域之外的转化研究培训从探索研究机会和发展开始。研究计划中包括一项个性化的研究计划。概述了学生获得研究所需技能的时间表和任务。通过合作与基因组和个性化医学领域的领导者互动，研究研讨会以及参加国家会议的时间安排是经过衡量和集中的。将使学者们能够打造身临其境的体验，同时受益于独特和范德比尔特大学拥有丰富的资源，包括 BioVU、NIH 的数据和研究中心“所有我们”、未确诊疾病计划、eMERGE 和 ICARE 登记处。范德比尔特遗传学研究所于 2015 年成立，范德比尔特大学做出了重大承诺用于招聘遗传学和基因组学领域多样化和协作性教师的资源。范德堡大学遗传咨询硕士项目展示了 GC 的作用在范德比尔特大学成功从事研究的 11 名应届毕业生中，有 9 人曾在范德比尔特大学发表演讲。毕业生在 3 种不同的期刊上发表了 5 篇文章。以技能为中心的课堂教学将通过以下方式补充基于经验的学习通过这些合作进行研究并与经验丰富的导师积极合作。受训者和导师将为基因组研究成果的增长做出贡献个性化医疗。
