ABSTRACT The uniqueness of student diversity within the University of Hawaii (UH), and the vast state-wide interlinked undergraduate (UG) educational network and existing UG research programs, will enable us to create a diverse graduate-level (GR) ‘workforce-in-training’ program leading to careers in genomics. We term this "PoWER-G" - Promotion of Workforce Employment and Readiness in Genomics. The primary goal is to establish a robust integrated educational pipeline to develop a solid genomic and bioinformatic GR student training and professional development experience, which utilizes existing resources at UH at large and resources built at the proposed Pacific Center for Genome Research. Our interactive GR training program involves soft skills, research, and practical “on-the-degree” training and competencies, linked to the candidates' MS and Ph.D. degrees in genomics and/or related bioinformatics. Genomic Workforce Development Core Milestones: · Promote interests in genomic careers by supporting research endeavors of UGs and GRs. · Design and implement a foundational genomic core training that focuses on various Next-Generation Sequencing workflows including capabilities to run and maintain sequencing and other core instruments. · Ensure competencies in bench-top skills in order to produce high-quality data at each analytical step. · Build professional and soft-skill competencies in our trainees to advance their careers in genomics. Expected Outcomes for the Genomic Workforce Development Core: · Our genomic UG and GR candidates will represent Underrepresented Populations, as potentiated by the unique position of cultural and ethnic diversity, represented strongly at UH and the state. · Our genomic GR leaders (MS, Ph.D., and Post-Doctoral level) will diversify and strengthen genomic cores nationally and contribute to genomic research internationally. · Our genomic GR leaders will, in turn, become strong leaders, supervisors, and mentors for others. This training program will transition into a formal 1-year Graduate Certificate Program to meet the exponential growth in genomics and the present and future needs for a diverse workforce for genomic research and precision medicine. The Specific Aims of the Genomic Workforce Development Core are: Aim 1: Genomic education feeder pipeline. To initiate, identify, and support educational networks, both UG and GR, to develop a feeder pipeline for advancing Genomic skills. Aim 2: On-the-degree genomic training. To strengthen and support post-graduate pathways into Genomic research. Aim 3: Upskilling an advanced genomic workforce. To develop and promote an advanced workforce training platform to meet the current and future research and industrial needs in Genomics.

抽象的 夏威夷大学 (UH) 学生多样性的独特性以及全州范围内的广泛相互关联 本科（UG）教育网络和现有的 UG 研究项目将使我们能够创建多样化的 研究生水平（GR）“劳动力培训”计划，通向基因组学职业，我们称之为“PoWER-G” - 促进基因组学领域的劳动力就业和准备。 主要目标是建立一个强大的综合教育渠道，以开发坚实的基因组和 生物信息学 GR 学生培训和专业发展经验，利用现有资源 呃，在拟议的太平洋基因组研究中心建立了我们的交互式 GR 资源。 培训计划涉及软技能、研究和实用的“学位”培训和能力， 候选人的基因组学和/或相关生物信息学硕士学位和博士学位。 基因组劳动力发展核心里程碑： · 通过支持 UG 和 GR 的研究工作，促进对基因组职业的兴趣。 · 设计并实施基础基因组核心培训，重点关注各种下一代 测序工作流程包括运行和维护测序及其他核心仪器的功能。 · 确保具备基础技能，以便在每个分析步骤中生成高质量的数据。 · 培养学员的专业和软技能能力，以推进他们在基因组学领域的职业生涯。 基因组劳动力发展核心的预期成果： · 我们的基因组 UG 和 GR 候选者将代表代表性不足的人群，正如 文化和种族多样性的独特地位在夏威夷大学和该州得到了强烈体现。 · 我们的基因组 GR 领导者（硕士、博士和博士后水平）将多样化和加强基因组 国内核心并为国际基因组研究做出贡献。 · 我们的基因组 GR 领导者将反过来成为其他人的强有力的领导者、监督者和导师。 该培训计划将转变为正式的一年制研究生证书计划，以满足指数增长 基因组学的发展以及当前和未来对基因组研究和精准化多样化劳动力的需求 药品。 基因组劳动力发展核心的具体目标是： 目标 1：基因组教育供给管道 启动、识别和支持教育网络，均为 UG。 和 GR，开发一个提升基因组技能的供给管道。目标 2：学位基因组培训。 加强和支持研究生进入基因组研究的途径 目标 3：提高高级技能。 开发和推广先进的劳动力培训平台，以满足当前和未来的需求。 基因组学的未来研究和工业需求。
