Project Summary/Abstract This GREAT Program will develop genomics opportunities for students at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) through a collaboration with Texas A&M University (TAMU) TAMU is one of the largest Hispanic-serving institutions in the United States with over 4000 students majoring in biomedical or biological sciences, and PVAMU is an HBCU comprised of 86% black students and >50% first generation students. While these institutions are separated by 40 miles, there have historically been few collaborations in the area of biomedical science. This program will develop a Course-based undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) focusing on using genomic and bioinformatic approaches to predict the function of unannotated genes. The CURE will be co- taught by PVAMU and TAMU faculty. Over the summer students will participate in research in a TAMU genomics lab. These research opportunities will be complemented by workshops, networking events, and other training opportunities. Together, the proposed program will foster critical thinking, self-empowerment, and provides students the skills and training necessary to enter PhD programs in genomics, or to enter the workforce in a genomics-related area. Taken together, this program will strengthen genomics programming at PVAMU, develop ties between the two universities, and promote diversity in genomic sciences.

项目总结/摘要 这个伟大的计划将为Prairie View A&M的学生开发基因组学机会 大学（PVAMU）通过与得克萨斯A&M大学（TAMU）合作，TAMU是其中之一， 美国最大的西班牙裔服务机构，有4000多名学生主修 生物医学或生物科学，PVAMU是由86%的黑人学生组成的HBCU， 50%以上为第一代学生。虽然这些机构相隔40英里， 在生物医学领域的合作历来很少。该计划将开发 基于课程的本科生研究经验（CURE），专注于使用基因组和 生物信息学方法来预测未注释基因的功能。治疗将是共同的， 由PVAMU和TAMU教师授课。整个夏天，学生们将参加一项研究， TAMU基因组学实验室。这些研究机会将辅之以讲习班， 网络活动和其他培训机会。共同努力，拟议的计划将促进 批判性思维，自我赋权，并为学生提供必要的技能和培训， 进入基因组学博士课程，或进入基因组学相关领域的劳动力。采取 总之，该计划将加强PVAMU的基因组学编程，发展 这两所大学，并促进基因组科学的多样性。
