To expand genomic diagnostic tools as well as enable viral sequencing, clinical, and host genomic research in West Africa, we need to build long-term capacity and scientific expertise at all participating sites for our interconnected research projects. A major component of our collaborative center will therefore be the transfer of genomics, bioinformatics and biostatistical knowledge to African scientists to promote and facilitate scientific projects in the region in collaboration with colleagues from the U.S. To accomplish this we have developed a series of educational workshops and graduate-level curricula to enhance African research capacity and foster cutting-edge genomics-based research and science careers, which complement our research efforts (Projects 1-3). The flagship educational enterprise of ACEGID is the annual summer genomics training program hosted by the Sabeti Lab at Harvard University and the Broad Institute. Our training program imparts specific skills related to utilizing genomics for the diagnosis of infectious disease and in-depth pathogen research in Africa. Previous work has placed us well positioned to expand our in-person training program to the H3Africa consortium as well as develop a robust, globally accessible, online training curriculum of practical genomics for diagnostics of infectious diseases. Towards this objective, we will enhance and expand our existing annual in-person genomics training for our collaborative center and H3Africa consortium students, enabling graduates to use these materials to conduct training courses in their home countries. During this project, we will also convert our training materials for wider distribution and online access by generating a massive open online course (MOOC) on practical training for genomics of infectious disease, and expand upon our existing outreach programme to disseminate research outcomes and new genomics information to the community. The Educational Core thus underpins our collaborative center’s overall aims, bridging vision and logistics to ensure the project’s success, and is the practical mechanism to transfer newly developed computational approaches, viral sequencing, and diagnostic technologies to African scientists.

扩展基因组诊断工具，并实现病毒测序、临床和宿主 为了在西非开展基因组研究，我们需要建立长期的能力和科学专门知识， 所有参与我们相互关联的研究项目的网站。我们的主要组成部分 因此，合作中心将是基因组学，生物信息学和生物统计学的转移 向非洲科学家提供知识，以促进和便利该地区的科学项目， 为了实现这一目标，我们开发了一系列 教育讲习班和研究生课程，以提高非洲的研究能力， 培养尖端的基因组学为基础的研究和科学事业，这补充了我们的 研究工作（项目1-3）。ACEGID的旗舰教育企业是一年一度的 夏季基因组学培训计划由哈佛大学Sabeti实验室和 布罗德研究所。我们的培训计划传授与利用基因组学为 在非洲进行传染病诊断和深入的病原体研究。先前的工作已经 使我们能够很好地将我们的面对面培训计划扩展到H3非洲联盟 并开发一个强大的，全球可访问的实用基因组学在线培训课程， 用于传染病的诊断为达致这个目标，我们会加强和扩大 为我们的合作中心和H3 Africa提供现有的年度面对面基因组学培训 联合会的学生，使毕业生能够使用这些材料进行培训课程， 他们的祖国。在这个项目中，我们还将转换我们的培训材料， 通过生成一个大规模的开放式在线课程（MOOC）， 传染病基因组学的培训，并扩大我们现有的外展计划 将研究成果和新的基因组学信息传播给社会。的 因此，教育核心支持我们的合作中心的总体目标，桥接愿景和 物流是保证项目成功的重要手段，是新的转移机制 开发了计算方法、病毒测序和诊断技术， 科学家
