SUMMARY Students interested in pursuing a career in genome sciences and medicine research will require a strong foundation of core genome sciences technology, analytical skills, and inter-disciplinary training. The overarching goal of this renewal application is to continue to provide a high-quality mentored research experience for promising students in the rapidly growing area of genome sciences and precision medicine. The 10-week summer program centers around a mentored research project in genome sciences and medicine, supplemented with didactic and interactive training, research seminars and career development skills-building. The program is open to all under-represented students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics who are rising sophomores and juniors. In this renewal, we are expanding our current partnership with North Carolina Central University (NCCU), an historically black college and university (HBCU), to include three additional HBCUs in North Carolina to create a core network of students for the summer program. Faculty mentors for this program span a wide range of disciplines in basic and applied genome sciences, data sciences, translational genomic medicine, bioinformatics and computational biology, engineering, and statistics. The research experience will be complemented by a series of research seminars by faculty at Duke and HBCU partners, and visits to sequencing facilities and companies using genome sciences technologies or data in their research in nearby Research Triangle Park, and other science-related community service activities. Given the increased recognition of the importance of data sciences, we are proposing to incorporate more learning opportunities on data sciences specifically to introduce students to some of these tools and work with open access datasets. In addition, students will have the opportunity to consider broader issues impacted by their research through a weekly discussion on the ethical, legal, social, and policy issues and gain important skills such as critical reading of scientific papers, leading a discussion group, conducting literature reviews, and making formal presentations. All students will be required to present their research at the conclusion of the program. We will administer annual surveys to summer scholars to gather information about their educational and career paths in STEM as a measure of the training program's impact. To date, this R25 program has supported 24 students over four summers (no students were accepted in summer 2020 due to Covid restrictions); a majority of students were female and African-American. Several students have successfully continued on in research throughout their undergraduate career and been accepted into leading graduate programs and medical schools around the country. With the proposed changes in this renewal application and our expanded partnerships with other HBCUs in the region, we hope to be responsive to the rapidly changing science and required skillsets and to increase awareness and recruitment for the program. In summary, we aim to continue to offer under-represented students a rich and highly interdisciplinary research experience in genome sciences and medicine.

总结 有兴趣从事基因组科学和医学研究的学生将需要一个强大的 核心基因组科学技术、分析技能和跨学科培训的基础。的 这项更新申请的首要目标是继续提供高质量的指导研究 为在快速发展的基因组科学和精准医学领域有前途的学生提供经验。的 10-一周的暑期项目围绕基因组科学和医学的指导研究项目， 辅以教学和互动培训、研究研讨会和职业发展技能建设。 该计划是开放给所有代表性不足的学生在科学，技术，工程和数学 他们是正在上升的大三和大四学生。在这次更新中，我们正在扩大我们目前与北 卡罗莱纳中央大学（NCCU），一所历史悠久的黑人学院和大学（HBCU），包括三所 在北卡罗来纳州增加HBCU，为暑期项目创建一个核心学生网络。教师 该计划的导师涵盖基础和应用基因组科学，数据 科学、转化基因组医学、生物信息学和计算生物学、工程学，以及 统计研究经验将由杜克大学的教师举办一系列研究研讨会来补充 和HBCU合作伙伴，并参观使用基因组科学技术的测序设施和公司， 他们在附近的三角研究园的研究数据，以及其他与科学有关的社区服务 活动鉴于人们越来越认识到数据科学的重要性，我们建议将 更多关于数据科学的学习机会，专门向学生介绍其中一些工具和工作 开放获取数据集。此外，学生将有机会考虑更广泛的问题， 通过他们的研究，通过每周讨论伦理，法律的，社会和政策问题，并获得重要的 技能，如科学论文的批判性阅读，领导讨论组，进行文献综述， 做正式的介绍。所有学生将被要求在总结他们的研究， 程序.我们将每年对暑期学生进行调查，以收集他们的教育信息。 以及STEM领域的职业道路，以此衡量培训计划的影响。到目前为止，这个R25计划已经 在四个夏天里支持了24名学生（由于新冠肺炎，2020年夏天没有学生被录取 限制）;大多数学生是女性和非洲裔美国人。一些学生成功地 在整个本科生涯中继续进行研究，并被领先的研究生院录取。 全国各地的医疗项目和医学院。随着本续期申请的拟议变更， 我们扩大了与该地区其他HBCU的合作伙伴关系，我们希望能够对快速变化的 科学和所需的技能，并提高认识和招聘的计划。总之，我们 旨在继续为代表性不足的学生提供丰富和高度跨学科的研究经验， 基因组科学和医学。
