The Stanford Training Program in ELSI Research

2016年，我们在斯坦福大学建立了一个T32研究培训项目，以创建独立的ELSI 能够对遗传学的伦理、法律、社会或政策影响进行严格研究的学者 基因组学(ELSI)。该项目建立在培训ELSI研究人员的10年经验基础上。在…的支持下 为了获得T32奖项，我们任命了7名博士后学者参加该项目，她们都是女性，一名拉丁裔和一名拉丁裔 非裔美国人。此次更新的目标是再培养7名博士后研究员，并继续我们的 成功地为ELSI研究界的多样性和卓越做出了贡献。 项目：多学科、跨学科、为期三年的博士后培训。共有7名博士后博士后 奖学金获得者将在五年的获奖期内完成培训。 实习生：来自不同背景的博士和博士生，包括遗传学、生物学 科学与工程、医学、计算机与信息科学、哲学、卫生服务研究、 人类学和其他社会科学。 导师：多导师模式，根据学员的个人需求和兴趣而量身定做。实习生被分配到 一名主要导师负责学员计划的全面发展，并指派一名次级导师 基于特定的职业、研究方法和选题领域的需要。 项目联席主任：现任研究培训项目主任Mildred Cho博士将加入 由Holly Tabor博士担任联席主任，带来了她在ELSI研究和培训方面的经验。 计划教职员工：来自9个小学部门和中心的14名计划教职员工，代表 从事ELSI相关研究的医学、人文和科学、法律和工程学。核心教职员工 成员Holly Tabor，博士David Magnus，博士，Hank Greely，JD和Kelly Ormond，MS经验丰富 项目中的导师。增加了四名新教员，扩大了ELSI的机会范围 研究员的研究项目和方法。 教育计划：针对每个学员的个性化培训计划，包括生物伦理学核心课程， 和人类遗传学、选修课和特定项目的ELSI研讨会，提供丰富的跨学科 与本项目和其他培训项目的教职员工和实习生进行互动。职业发展 机会包括参与、研究伦理和临床伦理咨询，这是一项获奖的赠款。 写作学院和通过斯坦福大学获得教学证书的机会。 研究计划：学员指导的研究将把不同学科的教师聚集在一起 通过实证性或规范性研究确定和解决重要的和新的ELSI问题。实习生有 作为正在进行的ELSI项目的一部分进行研究以及开发新想法的众多机会， 并在专业会议上展示他们的研究成果，并在同行评议的期刊上发表文章。

In 2016, we established a T32 research training program at Stanford University to create independent ELSI scholars who can conduct rigorous research on ethical, legal, social or policy implications of genetics and genomics (ELSI). This program built on 10 years of experience in training ELSI researchers. With support of the T32 award, we have appointed 7 postdoctoral scholars into the program, all women, one Latina and one African-American. The goal of this renewal is to train 7 more postdoctoral fellows and to continue our successful contribution to the diversity and excellence of the ELSI research communities. Program: Multi- and interdisciplinary three-year postdoctoral training. A total of seven postdoctoral predoctoral fellows will have completed their training over the five-year award period. Trainees: PhDs and PhD candidates recruited from diverse backgrounds, including genetics, biological sciences and engineering, medicine, computer and information sciences, philosophy, health services research, anthropology, and other social sciences. Mentors: Multiple mentorship model, tailored to individual trainee needs and interests. Trainees are assigned a primary mentor responsible for overall development of the trainee’s plans, and secondary mentors assigned based on specific career, research methods, and topic area needs. Program Co-Directors: Mildred Cho, PhD, the current director of the research training program, will be joined by Holly Tabor, PhD as a Co-Director, bringing her experience in ELSI research and training. Program Faculty: 14 Program Faculty from 9 primary departments and centers, representing Schools of Medicine, Humanities and Sciences, Law, and Engineering who conduct ELSI-relevant research. Core Faculty members Holly Tabor, PhD David Magnus, PhD, Hank Greely, JD and Kelly Ormond, MS are experienced mentors in the program. Four new faculty were added, broadening the range of opportunities for ELSI research projects and methodological approaches for fellows. Education Program: Individualized training program for each trainee that includes core courses in bioethics, and human genetics, elective courses, and program-specific ELSI seminars, providing rich interdisciplinary interaction with faculty and trainees from this program and from other training programs. Career development opportunities include participation, research ethics and clinical ethics consultation, an award-winning grant writing academy and the opportunity to obtain a teaching certificate through Stanford University. Research Program: Mentored research by trainees will bring together faculty from diverse disciplines to identify and address important and novel ELSI issues through empirical or normative research. Trainees have numerous opportunities to conduct research as part of ongoing ELSI projects as well as to develop new ideas, and to present their research at professional meetings and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
