DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This competitive renewal application proposes a continuation of the Stanford Genome Training Program (SGTP), one of the first NHGRI-sponsored genome training programs established six years ago. Building on the highly-successful program that has supported and trained 48 Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellow Trainees in 20 funded slots during this first funding period, the proposed continuation will expand to 32 Graduate Student slots and 4 Postdoctoral Fellow slots. These Trainees will work in the laboratories of 35 Participating Faculty members in 12 different Departments on the Stanford campus on a very wide array of genomics projects, including DNA and protein microarray experiments, large-scale sequencing and mapping of genomes, comparative sequencing and analysis, functional genomics, statistical genetics and genomics, highthroughput genotyping and genetic analysis, evolutionary genomics, pharmacogenetics, developmental biology and many other biological problems that benefit from a genomics perspective. The SGTP will continue to have a strong computational and quantitative component, with more than a third of the Trainees doing purely computational and analytical research and essentially all of the others using tools developed by bioinformatics researchers. Trainees will have a structured training plan administered by a dedicated Executive Committee comprised of the Principal Investigator/Program Director and four additional Participating Faculty members. This plan includes a regular series of Trainee research talks, a Genomics Seminar Series, Trainee-specific coursework plans developed by the Executive Committee with each Trainee, and a yearly Genomics Lectureship designed and run by the Trainees. Trainees and Participating Faculty will participate in a number of activities designed to recruit and teach individuals who are members of under-represented minorities, and to extend the genomics message to fellow scientists and non-scientists at a range of age levels.

描述（由申请人提供）：本竞争性更新申请提出了斯坦福大学基因组培训计划（SGTP）的延续，该计划是六年前建立的首批NHGRI赞助的基因组培训计划之一。在第一个资助期内，该计划非常成功，在20个资助名额中支持和培训了48名研究生和博士后研究员，拟议的继续将扩大到32个研究生名额和4个博士后研究员名额。这些实习生将在斯坦福大学校园12个不同部门的35名参与教师的实验室工作，从事广泛的基因组学项目，包括DNA和蛋白质微阵列实验，大规模基因组测序和绘图，比较测序和分析，功能基因组学，统计遗传学和基因组学，高通量基因分型和遗传分析，进化基因组学，药物遗传学，发育生物学和许多其他生物学问题，从基因组学的角度受益。SGTP将继续具有强大的计算和定量组成部分，超过三分之一的受训人员进行纯粹的计算和分析研究，基本上所有其他人都使用 生物信息学研究人员开发的工具。学员将有一个结构化的培训计划 由主要研究者/项目组成的专门执行委员会管理 主任和四个额外的参与教师。该计划包括一系列常规的 学员研究讲座，基因组学研讨会系列，由执行委员会与每个学员制定的针对学员的课程计划，以及由学员设计和运行的年度基因组学讲座。受训人员和参与教师将参加一些旨在招募和教授代表性不足的少数民族成员的活动，并将基因组学信息扩展到不同年龄段的科学家和非科学家。
