Most research projects that are engaged in characterizing the whole set of genes crop plants possess are complex in nature and carry out a diverse set of activities in addition to research. These include education and training of students, postdoctoral associates, and other professionals in different settings that range from classrooms and labs to workshops. In addition, many of these programs are also engaged in outreach activities with the community to raise awareness of the role that plant science plays in the quality of everyday life. One of the challenges faced by these scientists is recruitment of the research team, and communication with academic groups and the community at large. This project proposes to develop a web portal that will enable scientists to carry out these activities effectively and efficiently. In addition, this project will also assemble a large collection of highly specialized analytical software in a manner that will allow scientist to search and select the appropriate tool for very specific analytical tasks. The project also plans to request feedback from the community to target development of appropriate resources.The primary objective of this project is to create an integrated Gateway for Education, Training, Broader Impacts and Outreach in Plant Genome Research (GETBIO-PGR). This resource will provide an infrastructure to access, create, share and exchange information about plant genome research projects and broader impact activities. It will also provide a resource to enable users to discover the most relevant bioinformatics analytic tools. More specifically, GETBIO-PGR will enable investigators to create individual, integrated web pages that will serve the multiple needs of their research program including recruitment of students and postdocs, availability of internships, and scheduling of workshops. The web pages will also be used to communicate research results, and describe resources that are available to the community. These may include availability of sequence information, clones, seeds of genetic stocks, and research software. This project will also create a bioinformatics analytic Tool Discovery System (Bio-TDS) and integrate it into GETBIO-PGR. An ontology annotation system will be added to the Bio-TDS to enable robust searching capabilities. Finally, the PIs will introduce the research and educational communities to GETBIO-PGR through education, presentations, and workshops while gathering usability feedback.

大多数从事表征作物植物所具有的整套基因的研究项目本质上是复杂的，并且除了研究之外还进行各种各样的活动。这些包括学生，博士后助理和其他专业人员在不同环境中的教育和培训，从教室和实验室到研讨会。此外，其中许多项目还与社区开展外展活动，以提高人们对植物科学在日常生活质量中所发挥的作用的认识。这些科学家面临的挑战之一是招募研究团队，以及与学术团体和整个社区的沟通。该项目提议开发一个门户网站，使科学家能够有效和高效地开展这些活动。此外，该项目还将收集大量高度专业化的分析软件，使科学家能够为非常具体的分析任务搜索和选择适当的工具。该项目还计划征求社区的反馈意见，以便有针对性地开发适当的资源。该项目的主要目标是创建一个植物基因组研究的教育、培训、更广泛的影响和推广综合门户（GETBIO-PGR）。该资源将提供一个基础设施，以获取、创建、共享和交流有关植物基因组研究项目和更广泛的影响活动的信息。它还将提供资源，使用户能够发现最相关的生物信息学分析工具。更具体地说，GETBIO-PGR将使研究人员能够创建个人，集成的网页，以满足其研究计划的多种需求，包括学生和博士后的招聘，实习机会的可用性和研讨会的安排。这些网页还将用于交流研究结果，并介绍社区可利用的资源。这些可能包括序列信息的可用性，克隆，遗传资源的种子和研究软件。该项目还将创建一个生物信息学分析工具发现系统（Bio-TDS），并将其集成到GETBIO-PCR中。将在Bio-TDS中添加本体注释系统，以实现强大的搜索功能。最后，PI将通过教育、演示和研讨会向研究和教育社区介绍GETBIO-PGR，同时收集可用性反馈。
