The overarching goal of this application is to provide a high quality mentored research experience for promising students in the rapidly growing area of genome sciences and precision medicine. Students interested in pursuing a career in genome sciences and medicine research will require a strong foundation of core genome sciences technology and inter-disciplinary training. We propose a 10-week summer program that will include a mentored research project in genome sciences and medicine, didactic and interactive training, and interaction with academic and industry scientists. The program will be open to undergraduate students, particularly under-represented minorities (URM), at North Carolina Central University (NCCU) and Duke University. Students will have a range of research opportunities to select from the pool of 34 mentors working on projects in applied genome sciences, data sciences, translational genomic medicine, bioinformatics and computational biology, engineering, and statistics. The summer program builds upon our rich experience in undergraduate mentorship and training by the former Duke Institute of Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP) and currently administered by the Duke Center for Genomic and Computational Biology (GCB) and past partnership with NCCU. Through these programs, we have accepted more than 150 students, 22% of whom are from under-represented minorities and more than half of whom are women; several have successfully continued their research throughout their undergraduate career and been accepted into leading graduate programs and medical schools around the country. The research experience will be complemented by a series of training lectures and interactive learning activities from the core GCB facilities (proteomics/ metabolomics, sequencing, microarrays, and biostatistics), visits to NCCU and companies using genome sciences technologies or data in their research in nearby Research Triangle Park, and science-related community service activities. In addition, students will have the opportunity to consider broader issues impacted by their research through a weekly discussion on the ethical, legal, social, and policy issues and gain important skills such as critical reading a scientific paper, leading a discussion group, conducting literature reviews, and making formal presentations. All students will be required to present their research at the conclusion of the program. If needed to ensure a diverse student group each summer, we will expand our recruitment to other schools in the region, including several Historically Black Universities and Colleges (HBUCs) and establish partnerships with other local institutions during the course of the award to expand the student pool. In summary, students in this program will benefit from the rich and highly interdisciplinary resources available at Duke for genome sciences and medicine research.

该应用程序的总体目标是为以下项目提供高质量的指导性研究体验 在快速发展的基因组科学和精确医学领域，有前途的学生。学生 对从事基因组科学和医学研究感兴趣的人需要有坚实的基础 核心基因组科学、技术和跨学科培训。我们提出了一个为期10周的暑期计划 将包括基因组科学和医学的指导性研究项目，教学和互动培训， 以及与学术和行业科学家的互动。该项目将向本科生开放， 尤其是北卡罗来纳州中央大学和杜克大学代表不足的少数族裔(URM) 大学。学生将有一系列的研究机会从34名导师中进行选择 应用基因组科学、数据科学、翻译基因组医学、生物信息学和 计算生物学、工程学和统计学。暑期计划是建立在我们丰富的 由前杜克大学基因组科学与政策研究所(IGSP)和 目前由杜克基因组和计算生物学中心(GCB)和过去管理 与NCCU合作。通过这些项目，我们已经接收了150多名学生，其中22% 来自代表性不足的少数群体，其中一半以上是妇女；有几个人成功地 在整个本科生涯中继续他们的研究，并被顶尖的毕业生录取 全国各地的项目和医学院。研究经验将由一系列补充 来自核心GCB设施的培训讲座和互动学习活动(蛋白质组学/代谢组学， 测序、微阵列和生物统计学)，访问NCCU和使用基因组科学的公司 在附近的研究三角园区和与科学相关的社区进行研究的技术或数据 服务活动。此外，学生将有机会考虑受其影响的更广泛的问题 通过每周讨论道德、法律、社会和政策问题进行研究，并获得重要技能 比如批判性地阅读科学论文，领导讨论小组，进行文献综述，以及 做正式的陈述。所有学生将被要求在课程结束时提交他们的研究报告 程序。如果需要确保每年夏天有一个多样化的学生群体，我们将扩大我们的招聘范围 该地区的学校，包括几所历史悠久的黑人大学和学院(HBUC)，并建立 在颁奖过程中与当地其他机构建立伙伴关系，以扩大生源。在……里面 总结，本课程的学生将受益于丰富的、高度跨学科的资源，网址为 杜克大学负责基因组科学和医学研究。
