Project Summary The lack of American Indian and Alaska Native professionals in genomic sciences today highlights the need for effective research training programs to prepare the next generation of Native students to be successful in their pursuit of careers in genomic research. Our Genomics and Ethics in Native Communities (GEN) Program is a five-year research training program for undergraduate and graduate Native students interested in pursuing questions related to genetics, health and society. Our program combines didactic and experiential training activities, together with indigenous and community-based models of learning, as a means for Native students to directly shape the field of genomics in ways that promote the values and perspectives of Indigenous experiences. The four main components of the GEN program include 1) a fellowship program for Native students to connect with ongoing training opportunities and research experiences both on site and within a larger network of supporting institutions; 2) connection to ongoing community-based research in ethical, legal, and social implications, 3) a post-baccalaureate program for students preparing for graduate or professional school in areas related to ELSI, and 4) a student research conference designed to showcase the next generation of student achievements in genomics research. Central to our proposed program is a fellowship program designed to foster collaborative learning communities for the advancement of Native students in the ethical, social and legal implications of genomics and society. The fellowship is founded upon a community of learners approach that works toward the creation of sustainable, supportive learning environments for Native students by grounding all training activities in indigenous knowledge and methodologies, intergenerational learning, professional indigenous networks, and the value of social cohesion. A priority for this fellowship, and the entire program as a whole, is to provide Native students with opportunities to participate in community-based training and research activities that are based in indigenous experiences, which is why every activity offered as part of the GEN program is a collaborative effort between personnel at the University of Oklahoma’s Center of Excellence in Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Research and a network of indigenous professionals, Native-serving programs, tribal leaders and community members, and fellow cohort members. A primary outcome of the proposed activities is the recruitment and retention of Native student researchers in the field of genomics and society, but we expect that this training program can also serve as a model for more meaningful inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in the growing science of genomics.

项目摘要 今天缺乏美国印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的基因组科学专业人员，突显了 有效的研究培训计划，为下一代原住民学生在他们的 追求基因组研究的事业。我们的原住民社区基因组学和伦理(GEN)计划是一个 为有兴趣攻读本科和研究生的本科生和研究生提供五年研究培训计划 与遗传学、健康和社会有关的问题。我们的项目结合了授课和体验培训 活动以及土著和基于社区的学习模式，作为土著学生的一种手段 以促进土著人民价值观和观点的方式直接塑造基因组学领域 经历。Gen方案的四个主要组成部分包括：1)原住民奖学金方案 学生与现场和内部的持续培训机会和研究体验相联系 更大的支持机构网络；2)与正在进行的基于社区的伦理、法律、 和社会影响，3)为准备毕业或专业的学生提供的毕业后课程 与ELSI相关领域的学校，以及4)旨在展示下一步的学生研究会议 一代学生在基因组研究方面的成果。 我们提议的计划的核心是一个旨在促进协作学习社区的奖学金计划 提高土著学生对基因组学和社会的伦理、社会和法律影响的认识。 该奖学金建立在一个学习者社区的基础上，致力于创建 为本地学生提供可持续的支持性学习环境，将所有培训活动置于 土著知识和方法、代际学习、专业土著网络以及 社会凝聚力的价值。这个奖学金的优先事项，以及整个项目的优先事项是提供 本地学生有机会参加以社区为基础的培训和研究活动 基于土著经验，这就是为什么作为Gen计划一部分提供的每一项活动都是 俄克拉荷马大学伦理学、法律、法律和社会事务卓越中心的人员之间的合作努力 和社会影响研究和土著专业人员网络、土著服务方案、部落 领导者和社区成员，以及其他队列成员。拟议活动的主要成果是 在基因组学和社会领域招募和保留土著学生研究人员，但我们预计 这一培训方案还可以作为更有意义地纳入土著观点的典范 在不断发展的基因组学科学中。
