EDUCATION AND OUTREACH CORE – SUMMARY The San Diego Center for Systems Biology conducts an array of recruitment, educational and outreach activities directed to enrich faculty, trainees, professional scientists and the general public. Specific goals are to attract and educate the next generation of systems biology scientists; to provide hands-on technical training in the generation and quantitative analysis of complex data sets; to impact the general public including pre-college education and under-represented minorities; to draw the quantitative sciences talent pool towards biology; and to build, enrich and inspire a vibrant systems biology community in San Diego. These goals will be accomplished through three specific aims. First, the Core seeks to build and enrich a strong, active and diverse systems biology faculty in San Diego. To expand the active systems biology community in San Diego, the SDCSB will play a major role in recruiting new faculty in quantitative biology and `omics sciences. To promote the engagement of investigators already in San Diego in new systems biology research, we will continue our successful seed grant program, which allows new labs to compete annually for funding for systems biology pilot projects. Seed grants have led to many fruitful collaborations in the past and have significantly enriched the systems biology community in San Diego. Second, the Core will provide a broad portfolio of educational opportunities in systems biology. The SDCSB will continue to provide educational opportunities to scientists at all career stages. A new Systems Biology Postdoctoral Fellows Program will prepare the next generation of leaders in the field through a unified effort to recruit junior scientists who engage in co-mentored SDCSB research projects. Graduate education has been and will continue to be supported by two major PhD programs: Quantitative Biology (qBio) and Bioinformatics and Systems Biology (BISB). Students will benefit from the new Hacker Lab, which provides facilities for hands-on collaborative experimentation in quantitative biology. To disseminate research and education opportunities widely, the Center will continue to run a successful program of meetings, workshops and seminars. Finally, the Core will impact the general public understanding of systems biology and its importance to society. The Core supports a wide array of outreach activities in recognition of the vital role the scientific community plays in educating lay people and influencing public opinion. Our public outreach program is coordinated with the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center in downtown San Diego and caters to a wide social demographic. SDCSB graduate students have developed a number of hand-on bioinformatics teaching activities that support several major science festivals. We will also continue to organize a team for the annual iGEM synthetic biology competition, recruiting from a local low-income high school.

教育和外展核心——总结 圣地亚哥系统生物学中心开展一系列招募、教育和外展活动 旨在丰富教师、学员、专业科学家和公众的活动。具体目标 吸引和教育下一代系统生物学科学家；提供实践技术 复杂数据集的生成和定量分析培训；影响广大公众 包括大学前教育和代表性不足的少数群体；吸引定量科学人才 生物学方向的汇集；并在圣地亚哥建立、丰富和激励一个充满活力的系统生物学社区。 这些目标将通过三个具体目标来实现。首先，核心旨在建立和丰富 圣地亚哥强大、活跃和多样化的系统生物学教师。扩展主动系统生物学 在圣地亚哥社区，SDCSB 将在招募定量生物学新教师方面发挥重要作用 和“组学科学”。促进圣地亚哥的调查人员参与新系统 生物学研究，我们将继续我们成功的种子资助计划，该计划允许新的实验室参与竞争 每年为系统生物学试点项目提供资金。种子基金促成了许多富有成效的合作 过去并极大地丰富了圣地亚哥的系统生物学界。二、核心 将提供广泛的系统生物学教育机会。国家统计局将继续 为各个职业阶段的科学家提供教育机会。新的系统生物学博士后 研究员计划将通过统一努力招募该领域的下一代领导者 参与共同指导 SDCSB 研究项目的初级科学家。研究生教育已经和 将继续得到两个主要博士项目的支持：定量生物学（qBio）和生物信息学 和系统生物学（BISB）。学生将受益于新的黑客实验室，该实验室为 定量生物学的动手合作实验。传播研究和教育 机会广泛，中心将继续举办成功的会议、讲习班和 研讨会。最后，核心将影响公众对系统生物学及其生物学的理解 对社会的重要性。核心支持广泛的外展活动，以表彰其重要作用 科学界的作用是教育普通民众并影响公众舆论。我们的公共宣传 该计划与圣地亚哥市中心的鲁本·H·舰队科学中心协调，并迎合 社会人口广泛。 SDCSB 研究生开发了许多实用的生物信息学 支持多个重大科学节的教学活动。我们还将继续组建团队 一年一度的 iGEM 合成生物学竞赛，从当地一所低收入高中招募学生。
