Project Summary/Abstract There is a critical need for genomics scientists across the United States, especially in Colorado and Metro Denver, where there is a growing hub of genomics innovation and research in academia and industry. Additionally, diversity in the genomics workforce is necessary to support creativity, study health conditions in underrepresented groups, and ensure that genomics research is generalizable and beneficial to all people. This long-term goal to ensure that genomics research can be applied across all populations will contribute to the mission of NIH to enhance health, lengthen life, and reduce illness and disability among underrepresented groups. The proposed Pathways in Genomics Research Experiences for Undergraduates (PATH- GREU) from underrepresented groups will help meet this need by preparing diverse genomics scholars for careers or further education in genomics. Undergraduate students from Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) will complete research at the University of Colorado – Denver (UCD) Downtown Campus (DTC) and Anschutz Medical Campus (AMC) that house world renowned biomedical and human genomics research laboratories. Pairing MSU Denver with UCD is ideal as the two institutions are co-located at the Auraria campus in downtown Denver and are less than 10 miles from the University of Colorado Denver Anschutz Medical Campus. The PATH-GREU Program will: (1) Recruit undergraduate students from diverse demographic groups underrepresented in genomic research; (2) Establish a rigorous genomics research training program and supportive learning community that strengthens scientific understanding and promotes professional skills acquisition; and (3) Create a life-long community and mentorship network that enables scholars to embrace their identity as scientists and advance their careers in genomics. In doing so, PATH-GREU will build and support a diverse genomics scholar community within Metro Denver and Colorado.

项目总结/摘要 美国各地，特别是科罗拉多，迫切需要基因组学科学家 和大丹佛，那里有一个不断增长的基因组学创新和研究中心， 学术界和工业界。此外，基因组学工作人员的多样性是必要的， 创造力，研究代表性不足的群体的健康状况，并确保基因组学 研究具有普遍性，对所有人都有益。这一长期目标旨在确保 基因组学研究可以应用于所有人群，这将有助于NIH的使命， 在任职人数不足的人群中增进健康，延长寿命，减少疾病和残疾 组 本科生基因组学研究经验的拟议途径（PATH- GREU）将通过准备多样化的基因组学来帮助满足这一需求 学者的职业生涯或进一步教育的基因组学。本科生 丹佛大都会州立大学（MSU丹佛）将在该大学完成研究 科罗拉多-丹佛（UCD）市中心校区（DTC）和安舒茨医学校区（AMC） 拥有世界著名的生物医学和人类基因组学研究实验室。配对 密歇根州立大学丹佛分校与UCD是理想的，因为这两个机构共同位于奥罗拉校园， 位于丹佛市中心，距离科罗拉多丹佛大学不到10英里 安舒茨医学院。PATH-GREU计划将：（1）招收本科生 来自不同人口群体的学生在基因组研究中的代表性不足;（2） 建立严格的基因组学研究培训计划和支持性学习社区 加强科学认识，促进专业技能的获得;（3） 创建一个终身社区和导师网络，使学者能够拥抱他们的 作为科学家的身份，并推进他们在基因组学方面的职业生涯。为此，PATH-GREU将 在丹佛市建立和支持一个多元化的基因组学学者社区， 科罗拉多。
