Diversity Action Plan: UW GenOM Project

摘要 UW Genom项目的总体目标是维持并继续开发全面的 华盛顿大学本科生综合计划，以协调招生、留住和 针对在基因组科学和遗传医学中代表性严重不足的群体的培训活动。 该计划将重点关注黑人/非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔美国人、阿拉斯加的美洲原住民 原住民、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。其他重点将放在为来这里的学生提供服务上 来自贫困家庭(农村、低收入、残疾学生和低收入家庭 资源学校)。该提案将建立在迄今为止威斯康星大学基因组项目的成功基础上，该项目附属于- 为代表不足的少数族裔和未得到充分服务的学生提供的校园资源，以及 华盛顿大学基因组科学系UW基因组的科学家和教职员工 培训助学金、其他NIH资助的研究中心和培训助学金以及其他相关部门 校园里。该计划将增加关注基因组科学的学生的数量，而不是代表人数不足的学生 少数族裔和服务不足的人群，毕业时获得学士学位，进入研究生阶段 基因组科学、遗传医学和相关领域的计划。

ABSTRACT The overarching goal of the UW GenOM Project is to sustain and continue to develop a comprehensive umbrella program for undergraduates at the University of Washington to coordinate recruitment, retention and training activities for groups that are significantly underrepresented in genomic sciences and genetic medicine. The program will focus on Blacks/African Americans, Hispanic/Latinx Americans, Native Americans, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. Additional emphases will be on serving students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds (rural, low income, students with disabilities, and those who come from low resource schools). The proposal will build upon the success of the UW GenOM Project to date, affiliated on- campus resources for underrepresented minority and underserved students, as well as the expertise of the scientists and faculty in the University of Washington’s department of Genome Sciences, the UW Genome Training Grant, other NIH-funded research centers and training grants, and other relevant departments on campus. The program will increase the numbers of genomic-science focused students from underrepresented minority and underserved populations who graduate with a bachelor’s degree and matriculate into graduate programs in genomic sciences, genetic medicine, and allied fields.
