NHGRI/DIR Education and Outreach Programs

NHGRI校内研究部参与了广泛的教育和宣传活动，旨在向公众宣传基因组学的最新进展，并培训下一代科学家。 活动包括指导和建议目前的学员以及职业跟踪NHGRI前受过训练的科学家。 在整个外联、招聘和留用过程中，包括在社区学院设立健康差距研究金和系列研讨会，努力增加国家人类健康和遗传资源研究所的科学家的多样性。 NHGRI的校内培训办公室（ITO）赞助展位，并在科学促进奇卡诺人和美洲土著人协会（SACNAS）年会以及少数民族学生年度生物医学研究会议（ABRCMS）上有重要的存在。参加SACNAS的科学工作人员参加了一个基因组学会议，旨在为学生提供与活跃的科学家见面并讨论他们的职业目标的机会。在这两次会议上，博士级科学工作人员担任评委，为学生与会者提供口头和海报介绍，为这些学生提供了宝贵的指导机会。 通过ITO进行的教育和外展活动还包括我们与乔治王子社区学院（PGCC）STEM大学生中心的合作伙伴关系，NHGRI的教职员工定期为PGCC学生讲课。ITO的工作人员还会见了参加夏季研究计划的学生，这些研究计划在研究实验室进行。

The NHGRI Division of Intramural Research is involved in a wide range of education and outreach activities aimed at informing the public of the latest advances in genomics and training the next generation of scientists. Activities include mentoring and advising current trainees as well as career tracking of NHGRI former trained scientists. Efforts are placed on increasing diversity within the NHGRI DIR scientists throughout outreach, recruitment and retentions, including Health Disparity Fellowships and seminar series at community colleges. NHGRI's Intramural Training Office (ITO) sponsored booths and had a significant presence at the Society for Advancement for Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) Annual Conference, as well as at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS). The scientific staff attending SACNAS participated in a genomics meet-and-greet intended to provide students with the opportunity to meet with active scientists and discuss their career goals. At both conferences, doctoral-level scientific staff served as judges for oral and poster presentations being given by student participants, providing a valuable mentoring opportunity to these students. Education and outreach activities conducted through ITO also include our partnership with the Prince George's Community College (PGCC) STEM Collegian Center, with NHGRI faculty and staff presenting lectures to PGCC students on a regular basis. ITO staff also meets with students participating in summer research programs conducted at DIR research laboratories.
