University of Washington Genomics Research Training for Data Scientists

项目摘要 为了支持NHGRI使基因组工作人员多样化的战略计划，我们建议密歇根大学 华盛顿基因组数据科学家培训计划(UW-GRTDS)。这个跨学科的项目 为来自代表不足的少数族裔(URM)背景的数据科学硕士学生提供有偿服务 在威斯康星大学基因组学研究实验室的研究经验。在他们的研究经历中，学生们将 从他们的基因组学研究教师导师，数据科学教师导师， UW-GRTDS项目经理和基因组科学实习生社区。UW-GRTDS的学生将成为 通过参与职业发展和网络，欢迎进入基因组学培训环境 与来自URM背景的其他研究生一起参加活动。这项计划的长期目标是 为URM数据科学家创造一个更具包容性的环境，以鼓励他们在 基因组学研究。在整个计划中，我们将确定并分享增强和支持 类似的计划，以服务于形成一支更加多样化的基因组工作队伍。

Project Summary In support of the NHGRI Strategic Plan to Diversify the Genomics Workforce, we propose the University of Washington Genomics Training for Data Scientists program (UW-GRTDS). This interdisciplinary program provides masters students in data science from underrepresented minority (URM) backgrounds with paid research experiences in genomics research laboratories at UW. During their research experience, students will receive mentorship from their genomics research faculty mentor, a data science faculty mentor, the UW-GRTDS Program Manager, and the Genome Sciences trainee community. UW-GRTDS students will be welcomed into the genomics training environment by participating in career development and networking events with other graduate students from URM backgrounds. The long-term objective of this program is to create a more inclusive environment for URM data scientists in order to encourage them to pursue careers in genomics research. Throughout this program we will identify and share strategies to enhance and support similar programs in order to serve the formation of a more diverse genomics workforce.
