DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is a competitive renewal application of The Stanford Genome Training Program, which is one of the first NHGRI sponsored program established in 1995. This program has been highly successful and has supported and trained 119 graduate students and 44 postdoctoral fellows since it began; many of these have gone on to become leaders in their field. This application proposes to modestly increase its number of Trainees to 28 predoctoral fellows and 6 postdoctoral fellows from its existing level, consistent with its substantial increase in expansion of the program. There are presently 60 Participating Faculty in 15 different departments at Stanford. Research opportunities abound in broad areas of genomics and computational biology including genome characterization, medical genomics, technology development, comparative genomics, diversity and variation, development genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, gene regulation and systems biology, all with an "omics" emphasis. Organisms that are studied include yeast, flies, worms, fish, mice, and humans and other primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans). The emphasis of the SGTP will be to continue to provide a broad interdisciplinary education to a wide range to trainees, to serve to coordinate genomic research and training activities across the entire campus, and to help disseminate genomic science by preparing Trainees for the next steps in their careers. The program contains many unique elements that prepare Trainees for genomics research and highly successful careers. In addition, the SGTP proposes to continue an active Diversity Action Plan (DAP). The DAP will continue to recruit, retain and train individuals of diverse backgrounds for careers in the genomic sciences.)

描述（由申请人提供）：这是斯坦福大学基因组培训计划的竞争性更新申请，该计划是1995年成立的第一个NHGRI赞助计划之一。该计划非常成功，自开始以来已支持和培训了119名研究生和44名博士后研究员;其中许多人已成为各自领域的领导者。该申请建议将其实习生人数从现有水平适度增加到28名博士前研究员和6名博士后研究员，这与该计划的大幅增长相一致。目前，斯坦福大学有15个不同系的60名参与教师。研究机会在基因组学和计算生物学的广泛领域比比皆是，包括基因组表征，医学基因组学，技术开发，比较基因组学，多样性和变异，发展基因组学，蛋白质组学和代谢组学，基因调控和系统生物学，所有这些都以“组学”为重点。被研究的生物包括酵母、苍蝇、蠕虫、鱼、老鼠、人类和其他灵长类动物（黑猩猩、大猩猩和猩猩）。SGTP的重点将是继续为广泛的学员提供广泛的跨学科教育，协调整个校园的基因组研究和培训活动，并通过为学员的职业生涯做好准备来帮助传播基因组科学。该计划包含许多独特的元素，为基因组学研究和非常成功的职业生涯做好准备。此外，SGTP建议继续实施积极的多样性行动计划（DAP）。DAP将继续招募，保留和培训不同背景的个人从事基因组科学的职业。
