Project Summary/Abstract The Stanford Genomics Diversity Summer Program (GDSP) is designed to help increase the number of underrepresented scientists pursuing and succeeding in genetics, genomics, or other research careers. GDSP’s goals are to help participants of diverse backgrounds to: (a) successfully transition to the next career level; (b) remain in STEM; (c) pursue a PhD relevant to genomics; and (d) pursue careers in genomics. We support this goal by recruiting highly qualified students from diverse backgrounds and exposing them to cutting-edge research in top and well-resourced laboratories. The GDSP introduces and supports students in Genetics who otherwise may not had such an opportunity, and will serve as a catalyst for the development of students from diverse and underrepresented communities. Furthermore, this proposal will enhance the infrastructure of equity and education at Stanford University, introducing Genetics and Genomics research experiences to underrepresented minority, first generation college students, female students, students with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ students who would otherwise lack such opportunities. This will allow them to experience a broad spectrum of research, and to acquire skills -- such as data analysis used in modern scientific investigations -- while preparing them for careers in genomics science as well as developing a vast network of partnerships among scientists from national and international institutions. Each year, 10-15 diverse undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students will be selected from across the U.S. as GDSP Scholars. These GDSP Scholars participate in SSRP, a comprehensive, fully-funded, 9-week summer research program, during which time they work in genomics laboratories, receiving training in a wide variety of research techniques. The program prepares diverse participants for applications to PhD towards a PhD program, by addressing the career, academic, and personal needs of diverse students. With grant support from the NIH, selected undergraduate students become a part of our Stanford network and obtain rigorous laboratory experience at a top-tier research institution. A diverse group of faculty, staff, and students will contribute to the Action Plan, Central to the success of this plan is a commitment to diversity and inclusion as core values of Stanford. Building a culture and climate that values diversity and inclusion is the responsibility of all members of the Stanford community. We acknowledge that diverse people, perspectives, and backgrounds do not compete with excellence, but instead drive it.

项目摘要/摘要 斯坦福大学基因组学多样性夏季计划(GDSP)旨在帮助增加 从事遗传学、基因组学研究并取得成功的代表不足的科学家人数 其他研究职业。GDSP的目标是帮助不同背景的参与者：(A) 成功过渡到下一个职业水平；(B)继续在STEM工作；(C)攻读相关博士学位 从事基因组学；(D)从事基因组学职业。我们通过招聘大量员工来支持这一目标 来自不同背景的合格学生，让他们接触尖端研究 一流且资源充足的实验室。GDSP向学生介绍和支持遗传学 否则他们可能不会有这样的机会，并将成为 发展来自不同和代表性不足的社区的学生。此外，这一点 该提案将加强斯坦福大学的公平和教育基础设施， 向未被充分代表的少数群体介绍遗传学和基因组学研究经验 世代大学生、女大学生、残疾学生、LGBTQ+学生 否则就不会有这样的机会。这将使他们体验到广泛的 研究的范围，并获得技能--例如现代科学中使用的数据分析 调查--同时为他们在基因组科学领域的职业生涯做准备 来自国家和国际机构的科学家之间广泛的伙伴关系网络。 每年将选拔10-15名不同的本科生和毕业后的学生 来自美国各地的GDSP学者。这些GDSP奖学金获得者参加SSRP，a 全面的、全额资助的、为期9周的暑期研究计划，在此期间他们工作 在基因组学实验室，接受各种研究技术的培训。这个 该计划通过以下方式为申请博士学位的不同参与者做好准备 满足不同学生的职业、学业和个人需求。在赠款支持下 从美国国立卫生研究院挑选的本科生成为我们斯坦福网络的一部分， 在一流的研究机构获得严谨的实验室经验。 一个不同的教职员工和学生团体将为行动计划做出贡献，该行动计划是 该计划的成功在于致力于将多样性和包容性作为斯坦福的核心价值观。 建设一种重视多样性和包容性的文化和环境是所有人的责任 斯坦福社区的成员。我们承认，不同的人、不同的观点和 背景不是与卓越竞争，而是推动卓越。
