Diversity Action Plan: UW GenOM Project

摘要 UW基因组计划的总体目标是维持和继续发展一个全面的 华盛顿大学本科生的伞式计划，以协调招聘，保留和 为在基因组科学和遗传医学领域代表性严重不足的群体开展培训活动。 该计划将侧重于黑人/非洲裔美国人，西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人，美洲原住民，阿拉斯加州 原住民，夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。额外的重点将是服务学生谁来 来自弱势背景（农村，低收入，残疾学生，以及来自低收入家庭的学生） 资源学校）。该提案将建立在迄今为止华盛顿大学基因组项目的成功基础上，该项目附属于- 校园资源为代表不足的少数民族和服务不足的学生，以及专业知识的 华盛顿大学基因组科学系的科学家和教职员工 培训补助金，其他NIH资助的研究中心和培训赠款，以及其他相关部门 校园该计划将增加基因组科学为重点的学生人数从代表性不足 少数民族和服务不足的人口谁毕业的学士学位和录取到研究生 基因组科学、遗传医学和相关领域的项目。

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.
