ABSTRACT The objective of “GREAT opportunities in Genome Science” is to create a comprehensive, 2-year mentored research and professional development training program at California State University, Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and in collaboration with the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to train students who are from historically underrepresented and low-income populations for careers in genomics. The training will be focused on engaging students in a broad range of topics and research environments (both wet and dry labs at UCSC). A GREAT student cohort will be recruited from STEM majors including Biology, Math & Statistics, and Computer Science at CSUMB with the aim to identify them early in their academic careers and build a solid foundation in genomics and well position them to begin research training. The GREAT cohort will include students from rising juniors in the summer and Fall prior to the summer of research. Once a cohort is identified, the preparatory activities will be initiated in the Fall semester of their Junior year, followed by assigning students to CSUMB and UCSC mentors. The student will then be assigned to courses and workshops at CSUMB in the Spring of Junior year. The training of the students will be conducted in collaboration with the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Center at CSUMB. In the summer, students (now rising Seniors) will be placed in labs to work with their UCSC mentors. When possible at UCSC, the GREAT students will be placed in labs that are also hosting UCSC undergrads. This will encourage peer-to-peer mentoring and will help build affinity between CSUMB and UCSC students and cultivate a sense of community. In the Fall of senior year, students will return to CSUMB for two semesters of continued engagement with coursework and continuation of research aligned with their summer lab research experience. Where possible, summer research projects will continue through the academic year and the mentors will continue to support students in tandem with CSUMB faculty. All GREAT scholars will also participate in professional development, genomics-specific education, and graduate school preparation workshops and courses. Skills-based workshops will include instruction in basic programming, data structures and algorithms, elementary statistics, and the use of UCSC- based tools like the Genome Browser and the Xena Browser, while professional development and genomic education course will cover instruction on science writing and communication, career pathway understanding, responsible research conduct and ethics, legal and social implications issues in genomics, areas of specific research inquiry in genomics, and other topics to support development of the scholars’ identities as scientists, their scientific values, and their self-efficacy. Coordination of lab placement and summer activities at UCSC will be managed by the Genomics Institute Office of Diversity Programs (GIOD). Through this project, five cohorts of GREAT scholars will be extensively trained, and a platform will be established which will encourage and guide other students to pursue their careers in the genome sciences.

摘要 “基因组科学的巨大机会”的目标是创建一个全面的，为期2年的指导 蒙特雷湾加州州立大学的研究和专业发展培训项目 （CSUMB），并与加州大学，圣克鲁斯（UCSC）合作，培养学生谁是 从历史上代表性不足和低收入人口的基因组学职业。培训将 专注于让学生参与广泛的主题和研究环境（包括湿实验室和干实验室， UCSC）。一个伟大的学生队列将从STEM专业，包括生物学，数学和统计学， CSUMB的计算机科学，旨在在他们的学术生涯早期识别他们，并建立一个坚实的 在基因组学的基础，并很好地定位他们开始研究培训。GREAT队列将包括 学生从上升的大三学生在夏季和秋季之前的夏季研究。一旦确定了群组， 准备活动将在他们大三的秋季学期开始，然后分配 学生到CSUMB和UCSC导师。然后，学生将被分配到课程和研讨会， CSUMB在大三的春天。学生的培训将与 CSUMB的本科生研究机会中心。在夏季，学生（现在正在上升的老年人）将 被安排在实验室与UCSC导师一起工作。在UCSC，如果可能的话，优秀的学生将 放置在同时也是加州大学旧金山分校本科生的实验室里。这将鼓励同侪辅导，并将 帮助建立CSUMB和UCSC学生之间的亲和力，培养社区意识。年秋天 大四，学生将返回CSUMB继续参与课程的两个学期， 继续研究与他们的夏季实验室研究经验。在可能的情况下，夏季研究 项目将继续通过学年和导师将继续支持学生串联 与CSUMB教师。所有GREAT学者还将参加专业发展，基因组学特定 教育和研究生院准备讲习班和课程。基于技能的研讨会将包括 基本编程，数据结构和算法，基本统计学以及UCSC的使用指令- 基于工具，如基因组浏览器和Xena浏览器，而专业开发和基因组 教育课程将包括科学写作和沟通，职业途径的理解， 负责任的研究行为和道德，基因组学中的法律的和社会影响问题， 基因组学研究和其他主题，以支持发展学者作为科学家的身份， 他们的科学价值观和自我效能感。协调UCSC的实验室安置和夏季活动将 由Genomics Institute Office of Diversity Programs（GIOD）管理。通过这个项目， 大学者将得到广泛的培训，并将建立一个平台，这将鼓励和 引导其他学生在基因组科学领域追求自己的事业。
