JAX Diversity Action Plan (DAP) Post-Baccalaureate Program in Genomics (gDAP)

项目摘要/摘要 杰克逊实验室(JAX)基因组学多样性行动计划(DAP)毕业后计划的目标 是为来自代表性不足群体的个人提供变革性的、有指导的研究体验 重点是目标是在基因组相关领域追求更高学位和职业的受训者。 来自以下地区的个人对STEM(科学、技术、工程和数学)的参与率较低 代表不足的群体是全国公认的问题(国家科学院出版社，2011年)。缺乏 接触科学研究资源和导师、经济因素和文化偏见是阻碍 限制获得高质量的科学教育，进而阻碍我国研究能力的扩大 限制了大量智力人才的贡献。 该计划将受益于日本宇宙航空研究开发机构90年来在培训所有职业阶段的科学家方面取得的成功，包括 那些来自代表不足的群体，由其世界领先的小鼠遗传、基因组和计算 资源，以及其资金充足和富有成效的教职员工。该方案将建立在方案基础设施之上 用于职业发展和JAX现有的后BACC项目的后BACC同龄人社区。这个 基因组学DAP将有别于现有的BACC后计划，因为拟议计划的重点将是 专门从事基因组学、基因组技术和数据领域的基础研究的职业发展 科学。 该计划将在一年内接待最多六名毕业后研究员，个人分布在整个律师事务所 缅因州港湾和康涅狄格州法明顿JAX校园。该计划的三个主要目标将是(1) 提供为期两年的基因组学、基因组技术和 为代表不足的少数群体的个人提供数据科学；(2)实施一项课程，提供 补充指导实验室研究经验的知识、技能和培训，以及，(3) 将正式和非正式评估方法结合起来，以加强培训计划。监督和监督 该计划将由两名PI提供，每个园区一名，并由JAX基因组公司的计划人员提供 教育团队。一个由内部和外部个人组成的咨询委员会将对该计划的 提高效率，并就维持一个包容和公平的研究工作场所提供指导。 毕业后BACC项目的校友将为建立一支具有代表性的研究队伍做出贡献 我们国家的人口。他们将带来独特的视角和个人企业来制定和推进 基因组学和数据科学方面的研究议程，使所有人受益。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The goal of The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Diversity Action Plan (DAP) post-baccalaureate program in genomics is to provide a transformative, mentored research experience for individuals from underrepresented groups with an emphasis on trainees whose goals are to pursue advanced degrees and careers in genome-related fields. Low participation in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) by individuals from underrepresented groups is a recognized problem nationally (National Academies Press, 2011). Lack of exposure to scientific research resources and mentors, economic factors, and cultural biases are barriers that limit access to quality science education and, in turn, hinder the expansion of our nation's research capacity by limiting contributions from a deep pool of intellectual talent. The program will benefit from JAX's nine decades of success in training scientists at all career stages, including those from underrepresented groups, by its world-leading mouse genetic, genomic, and computational resources, and by its well-funded and productive faculty. The program will build upon programmatic infrastructure for career development and a community of post-bacc peers from an existing post-bacc program at JAX. The genomics DAP will be distinct from the existing post-bacc program as the focus for the proposed program will be specifically on career development for basic research in the areas of genomics, genome technology, and data science. The program will host up to six post-baccalaureate fellows in a year with individuals distributed across the Bar Harbor, Maine and Farmington, Connecticut JAX campuses. The three primary aims for the program will be (1) Provide two-year mentored post-baccalaureate research experiences in genomics, genome technologies, and data science for individuals from underrepresented minority groups; (2) Implement a curriculum that provides knowledge, skills, and training complementary to the mentored laboratory research experience and, (3) Incorporate formal and informal evaluation methods to strengthen the training program. Oversight for the program will be provided by two PIs, one from each campus, and by Program Staff from the JAX Genomic Education team. An Advisory Council comprised of internal and external individuals will evaluate the program's effectiveness and provide guidance on sustaining a research workplace that is inclusive and equitable. The alumni from the post-bacc program will contribute to building a research workforce that is representative of our nation's population. They will bring unique perspectives and individual enterprise to setting and advancing a research agenda in genomics and data science that benefits all people.
