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。这个核心的活动已经开始。今年已经提供了一系列的三个内部系统生物学研讨会作为试点工作，并取得了巨大的成功（见下文）。去年春天，在一次包括大量利益相关者的静修会上，Krulwich领导了包括Sealfon， lyengar和Sobie在内的一小群教师，为一门新的综合课程制定了详细的计划，这门课程将作为系统生物学学生的核心课程，并将于2007年秋季提供。除了教学课程外，平机会还将为一系列选民提供讲习班和个性化培训机会。我们正在开发一些项目，为目前在这些界面、在参与机构和其他地方的研究人员骨干服务，我们还将开发一些拓展项目，以增加渴望成为生物医学科学这一主要趋势一部分的学员人数。

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.
