Education and Outreach Core

教育和外展核心（EOC）将采取积极和创造性的方法来增加系统生物学研究人员的巨大挑战。该核心的活动已经开始。一系列的三个内部系统生物学研讨会已经提供了今年作为试点工作，已经取得了巨大的成功（见下文）。继最初的概念规划，去年春天在务虚会，其中包括大量的知识产权持有人，Krulwich已导致一个较小的小组的教师，包括Sealfon，lyengar和Sobie开发的详细计划，为一个新的综合课程，将作为核心课程的系统生物学的学生，并将在秋季提供，2007年。除了教学课程外，平机会亦会为不同界别的人士提供工作坊和个别培训机会。我们正在制定计划，为这些接口的现有研究人员提供服务，在参与机构和其他地方，我们将制定外展计划，增加渴望成为生物医学科学这一主要趋势的一部分的受训人员的数量。

The Education and Outreach Core (EOC) will take an active and creative approach to the enormous challenge of increasing the pool of Systems Biology investigators. The activities of this Core have already been started. A series of three in-house Systems Biology Workshops has been offered this year as a pilot effort that has enjoyed enormous success (see below). Following initial conceptual planning last spring at a Retreat that included a large number of stake-holders, Krulwich has led a smaller group of faculty including Sealfon, lyengar and Sobie to develop the detailed plans for a novel integrated course that will serve as the core course for Systems Biology students and will be offered in Fall, 2007. In addition to the didactic curriculum, the EOC will offer workshops and individualized training opportunities for an array of constituencies. We are developing programs that serve the current cadre of investigators at these interfaces, here in the participating institutions and elsewhere, and we will develop outreach programs that increase the number of trainees who aspire to be part of this major trend in biomedical sciences.
