 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of this proposal is to develop and sustain a comprehensive umbrella program to coordinate recruitment, retention, and training activities for groups that are currently significantly underrepresented in genomic science, focusing on African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, Filipino Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. This proposal will build upon the successes of the UW GenOM project to date, affiliated on-campus resources for underrepresented students, as well as the expertise of the scientists and faculty involved in the University of Washington Department of Genome Sciences, the UW Genome Training Grant, other NIH-funded research centers and training grants, and relevant academic departments at the University of Washington. The program will increase the pipeline of genomic science-focused students from underrepresented populations transitioning from their freshman year through their undergraduate studies, and from there into competitive graduate programs, with the goal that some of these students will eventually become Principal Investigators in academia or Senior Scientists in the life sciences industry.

 描述（由申请人提供）：该提案的总体目标是制定和维持一个全面的伞式计划，以协调目前在基因组科学领域代表性严重不足的群体的招募、保留和培训活动，重点关注非裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人、美洲原住民、阿拉斯加原住民、菲律宾裔美国人、夏威夷原住民和太平洋岛民。该提案将建立在威斯康星大学 GenOM 项目迄今为止所取得的成功、为代表性不足的学生提供的附属校内资源、以及参与华盛顿大学基因组科学系、威斯康星大学基因组培训补助金、其他 NIH 资助的研究中心和培训补助金以及华盛顿大学相关学术部门的科学家和教师的专业知识的基础上。该计划将增加来自代表性不足人群的基因组科学学生从大一过渡到本科学习，并从那里进入有竞争力的研究生课程的渠道，目标是其中一些学生最终成为学术界的首席研究员或生命科学行业的高级科学家。
