Diversity Action Plan at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Genomics Program (DAPPG)

摘要 宾夕法尼亚大学基因组计划(DAPPG)多样性行动计划的目标 是引导来自代表不足(UR)群体的本科生和应届大学毕业生进入研究生院 从事基因组学研究。多样性行动计划将与以下机构合作制定和实施 NHGRI T32计算基因组学、基因组医学以及伦理、法律和社会领域的培训计划 遗传学和基因组学的含义以及亚细胞基因组学的研究计划。本节目 特别强调区域培训的垂直一体化，认识到地理流动的限制 这在许多社会经济上处于不利地位的UR群体中很常见。至少10名UR学者(7-10名暑期学生 和3名研究生)，以及来自大费城地区的其他候选人 在全国范围内，将每年确定对基因组学和基因组医学研究感兴趣的人 但缺乏研究生或医学院培训所需的经验或专业知识。每位学者都将成为 与研究生培训教师中的研究导师以及博士/博士后水平的导师相匹配 来自T32项目，并提供了一到两年的重要研究项目。一个单独的学生 为每个学者制定发展计划(IDP)，以确保该学者接受适当的培训 根据他或她自己的科学需要和兴趣，包括研究生或高级本科课程。 学者还将通过完成以下课程的研讨会来培养在研究生院取得成功所必需的技能 基因组学和计算生物学，拨款申请，负责任的研究行为，批判性分析 科学文献，以及口头和书面陈述技巧。学者们还将参与一对一的写作 工作坊由专业的写作指导老师指导。学者们将以小组形式每周开会讨论科学期刊 论文和自己的研究，以进一步发展自己的技能，在批判性评价研究和 提供科学报告，以及增加他们对自己以外的研究的接触 研究小组。此外，学者将收到研究生申请过程的建议，包括 选择项目，写申请论文，练习面试。如果有必要，学者们将参加GRE考试 或MCAT预科课程。学者们还将与宾夕法尼亚大学的教职员工一起参加各种午餐和研讨会， 博士后研究员和研究生，分享他们的培训经验，正在进行的研究，以及 学术道路。衡量该项目成功与否的最终标准是被录取的学者的百分比 参加博士或医学博士培训项目，并从事研究工作。 好了！

SUMMARY The objective of the Diversity Action Plan at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Genomic Program (DAPPG) is to guide undergraduate and recent college graduates from underrepresented (UR) groups into graduate school to pursue genomics research. The Diversity Action Plan will be developed and implemented in partnership with NHGRI T32 training programs in Computational Genomics, Genomic Medicine, and the Ethical, legal and social implications of genetics and genomics as well as a research program in sub-cellular genomics. This program especially emphasizes vertical integration of regional training, recognizing the geographic mobility restrictions common to many socio-economically disadvantaged UR groups. At least 10 UR scholars (7-10 summer students and 3 post-baccalaureate students), from the Greater Philadelphia area along with additional candidates from across the country, will be identified each year who are interested in genomics and genomic medicine research but lack the experience or expertise necessary for graduate or medical school training. Each scholar will be matched with a research mentor among the graduate training faculty as well as PhD/Postdoctoral level mentors from the T32 programs and provided with a significant one to two-year research project. An Individual Student Development Plan (IDP) is developed for each scholar to ensure that the scholar undertakes training appropriate to his or her own scientific needs and interests, including graduate or advanced undergraduate coursework. Scholars will also develop the skills necessary for success in graduate school by completing workshops in genomics and computational biology, grant writing, the responsible conduct of research, critical analysis of scientific literature, and oral and written presentation skills. Scholars will also participate in a one-on-one writing workshop with a professional writing instructor. Scholars will meet weekly as a group to discuss scientific journal articles and their own research, in order to further develop their skills in the critical evaluation of research and the delivery of scientific presentations, as well as to increase their exposure to research outside their own research groups. In addition, scholars will receive advising for the graduate school application process, including selecting programs, writing application essays, and practicing interviews. If necessary, scholars will take a GRE or MCAT preparation course. Scholars will also participate in various lunches and seminars with Penn faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students who share their training experiences, on-going research, and academic paths. The ultimate measure of the program's success is the percentage of scholars who are admitted to PhD or MD-PhD training programs and pursue a research career. !
