The Stanford Training Program in ELSI Research

2016年，我们在斯坦福大学建立了T32研究培训计划，以创建独立的ELSI 能够对遗传学的伦理、法律的、社会或政策影响进行严格研究的学者， 基因组学（ELSI）。该计划建立在10年培训ELSI研究人员的经验基础上。的支持下 T32奖，我们已经任命了7名博士后学者进入该计划，所有女性，一名拉丁裔和一名 非裔美国人这次更新的目标是培养7个博士后研究员，并继续我们的 为ELSI研究社区的多样性和卓越性做出了成功的贡献。 计划：多学科和跨学科的三年博士后培训。博士后共7名 研究员将在五年的研究金期内完成培训。 受训人员：博士和博士候选人从不同的背景，包括遗传学，生物学， 科学和工程，医学，计算机和信息科学，哲学，卫生服务研究， 人类学和其他社会科学。 导师：多种导师模式，根据学员的个人需求和兴趣量身定制。学员被分配到 一名初级导师负责学员计划的全面发展，并指派二级导师 基于特定的职业、研究方法和主题领域需求。 项目联合主任：研究培训项目的现任主任Mildred Cho博士将加入 由冬青塔博尔博士担任联合主任，带来了她在ELSI研究和培训方面的经验。 课程教师：来自9个主要部门和中心的14名课程教师，代表学校 医学，人文科学，法律和工程谁进行ELSI相关的研究。核心教师 成员冬青塔博尔，博士大卫马格纳斯，博士，汉克格里利，JD和凯利奥蒙德，MS经验丰富 节目中的导师增加了四个新的教师，扩大了ELSI的机会范围 研究项目和研究方法。 教育计划：为每位学员提供个性化培训计划，包括生物伦理学核心课程， 和人类遗传学，选修课程，并计划具体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师和学员互动。职业发展 机会包括参与，研究伦理和临床伦理咨询，获奖补助金 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：由学员指导的研究将汇集来自不同学科的教师， 通过实证或规范研究，确定和解决重要和新颖的电子和信息社会问题。学员 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，并在同行评审的期刊上发表。

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.
