DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal application to support the Stanford Genome Training Program (SGTP), which is one of the first NHGRI-sponsored genome training programs established in 1995. This highly-successful program has supported and trained 101 Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellow Trainees since it began; 68 of these have been in the program during the current funding period, which began September 2002. The SGTP currently supports 30 Trainees, 25 of whom are Graduate Students and five of whom are Postdoctoral Fellows. This application proposes to continue the SGTP at its current number of Trainees, who will work in the laboratories of 41 Participating Faculty members in nine different departments at Stanford. Research opportunities abound in broad areas of genomics and computational biology, including comparative sequencing and analysis, functional genomics, DNA, protein, and carbohydrate microarray technologies, algorithm development, statistical genetics and genomics, high-throughput genotyping and genetic analysis, evolutionary genomics, pharmacogenetics, developmental biology and many other biological problems that benefit from a genomics perspective. Many projects involve development of new wet-lab as well as computational technologies and tools. The emphasis of the SGTP will continue to be to provide a broad interdisciplinary education to a wide range of Trainees, to serve to coordinate genomic research and training activities throughout the entire campus, and to help disseminate genome science by preparing Trainees for the next steps in their careers. In addition to providing this training, the SGTP proposes an ambitious program for the Minority Action Plan (MAP) and education outreach. The MAP and outreach components, which are already very strong in the SGTP and on the Stanford campus, will expand and ensure the success of our efforts to help increase diversity in our scientific ranks while also providing younger students and the general public with knowledge about science and scientists and how these impact their daily lives.

描述(申请人提供)：这是一个竞争续签申请，以支持斯坦福大学基因组培训计划(SGTP)，这是NHGRI于1995年建立的首批基因组培训计划之一。这一非常成功的计划自开始以来已经支持和培训了101名研究生和博士后学员；其中68人在2002年9月开始的当前资助期内参加了该计划。SGTP目前支持30名实习生，其中25人是研究生，5人是博士后。这份申请书建议以目前的受训人数继续实施SGTP，这些受训人员将在斯坦福大学9个不同系的41名参与学院成员的实验室工作。在基因组学和计算生物学的广泛领域中，研究机会比比皆是，包括比较测序和分析、功能基因组学、DNA、蛋白质和碳水化合物微阵列技术、算法开发、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从基因组学角度受益的生物学问题。许多项目涉及开发新的湿实验室以及计算技术和工具。SGTP的重点将继续是向广泛的受训人员提供广泛的跨学科教育，协调整个校园内的基因组研究和培训活动，并通过为受训人员的下一步职业生涯做好准备来帮助传播基因组科学。除了提供这种培训，SGTP还为少数民族行动计划(MAP)和教育推广提出了一项雄心勃勃的计划。地图和外联部分在SGTP和斯坦福校园已经非常强大，它将扩大并确保我们帮助增加我们科学队伍的多样性的努力取得成功，同时还向年轻学生和普通公众提供关于科学和科学家的知识，以及这些知识如何影响他们的日常生活。
