Summary This proposal, entitled Increasing Diversity in Genomics for the Next generation (IDGeNe), is a proposal from the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus in response to the NIH-GREAT call for proposals. The long-term goal of the IDGeNe program is to increase the diversity of the Genomic field workforce by establishing a cohort of interested students that will receive academic and professional training in genomic-related research. The program will benefit a student population over 95% Hispanics of different gender, race, social status and physical needs. The core of the program is a comprehensive research experience for undergraduate students and a series of activities that will reinforce students identity as researchers and prepared them for graduate work. The training program consists of two major components: with (1) a “hands-on” in depth research experience and (2) a series of activities aimed at developing not only their research potential but also the professional tools needed to succeed in future careers. A cohort of 8 undergraduate students from UPR-Rio Piedras will be recruited annually for a 2-year internship in the program. Students will receive in-house training in professional development during the first summer via courses, workshops and other activities. During the two years in the program, students will work on a project in genomic research in the laboratory of one of the local mentors while participating in seminars and workshops and professional development activities. Students will also undergo a 8-10 week summer research experience at some of the top-mainland institutions, including: Univ. Pittsburgh, Univ. Wisconsin, UC Santa Cruz, UT Southwestern, UC San Francisco and Harvard University. Upon completion of the program, students will be well prepared to continue their education in MS or PhD programs, enter fields of interest, such as Genomic Medicine or Public Health or integrate directly into the Genomics workforce. The program takes advantage of the strong expertise in genomics and genomic-related fields among the UPR faculty. Twenty-two UPR faculty whose research involves genomics/bioinformatics will participate as possible mentors in the Program. Collectively these faculty members have mentored hundreds of undergraduate students in their labs and have vast experience to implement and carry forward a highly successful research and mentoring program. Dr. Jose E. Garcia-Arraras a Professor from the Biology department whose research involves the genomics of organ regeneration will be the P.I. He will be assisted by Dr. Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga (co-P.I.) an expert in computer-based genome analyses and by collaborators that will strengthen the areas of Statistics, Data Science and Mentoring. This proposal builds upon the experiences gathered in different programs by the UPR and its faculty, to enhance and strengthen the mentoring and training activities of Under Represented Minority students to make them competitive for graduate school and beyond.

摘要 这项题为为下一代增加基因组学多样性(IDGeNe)的提案是一项提案 来自波多黎各大学里约热内卢分校响应美国国立卫生研究院的号召--伟大的建议。这个 IDGeNe计划的长期目标是通过建立 一群感兴趣的学生，他们将接受与基因组相关的研究方面的学术和专业培训。 该计划将使95%以上的拉美裔学生受益，他们的性别、种族、社会地位和 身体需求。 该项目的核心是为本科生提供全面的研究体验，并 一系列活动，将加强学生作为研究人员的身份，并为他们的研究生工作做好准备。这个 培训计划由两个主要部分组成：(1)具有深入研究的实践经验和(2) 一系列活动，目的不仅是开发他们的研究潜力，而且还开发所需的专业工具 在未来的职业生涯中取得成功。来自里约热内卢皮埃德拉斯的8名本科生将被招募 每年在该计划中进行为期两年的实习。学生将接受内部专业培训 在第一个夏天通过课程、讲习班和其他活动发展。在过去的两年里 计划，学生将在当地一位导师的实验室里从事基因组研究的项目，同时 参加研讨会、工作坊和专业发展活动。学生们还将接受一项 8-10周在大陆一些顶尖院校的暑期研究经验，包括：大学。匹兹堡, 大学。威斯康星州、加州大学圣克鲁斯分校、德克萨斯大学西南分校、加州大学旧金山分校和哈佛大学。完工后 在该计划中，学生将为继续攻读硕士或博士学位做好准备，进入 如果您有兴趣，如基因组医学或公共卫生，或直接融入基因组学员工队伍。 该计划利用了在基因组学和基因组相关领域的强大专业知识 UPR教职员工。22名研究涉及基因组学/生物信息学的普遍定期审议教员将作为 该计划中可能的导师。这些教职员工总共指导了数百名本科生 学生在他们的实验室中，并拥有丰富的经验来实施和推进非常成功的研究和 指导计划。何塞·E·加西亚-阿拉拉斯博士，生物系教授，他的研究 涉及器官再生的基因组学将是P.I.他将得到Humberto Ortiz-Zuazaga博士的协助 (共同P.I.)计算机基因组分析方面的专家和合作者将加强以下领域 统计学、数据科学和辅导。 这项建议建立在普遍定期审议及其教职员工在不同方案中收集的经验基础上，以 加强和加强少数民族学生辅导培训活动，使 他们在研究生院和以后的学校竞争激烈。
