THE FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR COLLABORATIVE INTERACTION FOR MINORITY INSTITUTE/CAN

该计划的目标是发展机构和课程基础设施，以启动和促进联合研究生学位计划，这些计划面向以计算为导向的科学家，他们了解与癌症生物学相关的学科和与健康差异研究相关的问题。该项目支持一段时间的数据收集、课程调整、确定课程目标，以及创建生物信息学和计算生物学重点以及最终联合学位计划所需的课程规划、开发和评估。通过改编UTHSCSA已经开发的教学材料，并与UTHSCSA癌症/健康差异研究人员的数据和研究问题联系起来，该项目帮助教师开发一种基于证据的计算方法，在UTSA教授关于癌症生物学和健康差异的教学。/最初。将设立生物信息学专业/赛道，包括为这一新赛道开发必要的课程。

he goals of this program are to develop the institutional and curricular infrastructure to initiate and promote joint graduate degree programs for computationally oriented scientists who have an understanding of the disciplines related to cancer biology and issues related to health disparities research. The project supports a period of data gathering, course alignment, defining course objectives, and the curriculum mapping, development, and assessment necessary for creating bioinformatics and computational biology emphases and eventually joint degree programs. By adapting instructional materials already developed at UTHSCSA and making connections with the data and research problems of UTHSCSA cancer/health disparities researchers, the program with help faculty develop a computational, evidence-based approach to teaching about cancer biology and health disparities at UTSA. /initially. a bioinformatics concentration/track will beset up including the necessary course development for this new track.
