ABSTRACT Biomedical Informatics is an inherently interdisciplinary field of study that requires researchers to have a knowledge base in numerous domains, including: biology, medicine, public health, ontology, human factors, and data science. This multidisciplinary nature presents as a barrier to precocious students who may have an interest in Biomedical Informatics but lack the prerequisite foundational skills and knowledge. We aim to reduce that barrier to entry with our proposed research education program by equipping undergraduate and master’s students with the skills to enable them to begin their career via graduate education or workforce employment. At the same time, we need a special focus on increasing excellence through diversity. The percentage of URMs is low when compared with other disciplines and this needs to be corrected if we are to reach our excellence goals. We propose a 12-week Buffalo Research Innovation in Genomic and Healthcare Technology (BRIGHT) short-term training and education program at the University at Buffalo’s Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. Every year this program will host 12 top undergraduate and master’s candidates for intensive training in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science involving didactics, hands-on research, and career development activities. Our overall objective is to recruit and train diverse undergraduate and masters’ students to prepare them for future careers in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science. We will accomplish this objective through the following aims: Aim 1: Expand trainee’s knowledge base in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science via didactic teaching, including lectures and interactive notebooks. Aim 2: Provide trainees with hands-on research in Biomedical Informatics to develop useful computational and statistical skills and career development opportunities to prepare trainees for educational programs and future careers in Biomedical Informatics research. Aim 3: Improve outreach programs to increase recruitment of URM trainees to promote diversity in Biomedical Informatics and Data Science educational programs and research careers. The University at Buffalo’s Department of Biomedical Informatics is excited to provide the Buffalo Research Innovation in Genomic and Healthcare Technology (BRIGHT) short-term training and education program to enable research experiences to attract diverse, talented students to biomedical/data science careers. Furthermore, we will enhance diversity in biomedical informatics research, health, and healthcare by fostering the next generation of innovative URM researchers who will and are making essential contributions to Biomedical Informatics and Data Science.

摘要 生物医学信息学是一个本质上跨学科的研究领域，需要研究人员有一个 许多领域的知识库，包括：生物学、医学、公共卫生、本体论、人为因素、 和数据科学。这种多学科的性质对早熟的学生来说是一种障碍，他们可能有一个 对生物医学信息学感兴趣，但缺乏必备的基本技能和知识。我们的目标是 通过我们建议的研究教育计划，通过装备本科生和 有能力通过研究生教育或劳动力开始他们的职业生涯的硕士学生 就业。与此同时，我们需要特别关注通过多样化增加卓越。这个 与其他学科相比，URM的比例较低，如果我们要 实现我们的卓越目标。 我们提出了为期12周的基因组和医疗技术方面的水牛研究创新(BREAT) 布法罗大学雅各布斯医学院的短期培训和教育计划 生物医学信息学系生物医学科学。每年这个节目都会有12位顶尖选手 生物医学信息学和数据科学强化培训本科生和硕士生 参与教学、实践研究和职业发展活动。我们的总体目标是招募 培养多样化的本科生和硕士生，为他们未来的职业生涯做好准备 生物医学信息学和数据科学。我们将通过以下目标实现这一目标： 目标1：通过教学扩大学员在生物医学信息学和数据科学方面的知识库 教学，包括讲座和互动笔记本。 目标2：为学员提供生物医学信息学方面的实践研究，以开发有用的 为学员准备的计算和统计技能和职业发展机会 生物医学信息学研究的教育计划和未来职业。 目标3：改进外展方案，以增加对城市规划管理实习生的招聘，以促进 生物医学信息学和数据科学教育计划和研究职业。 布法罗大学生物医学信息学系很高兴能提供布法罗研究 基因组和医疗技术创新(BREAT)短期培训和教育 计划使研究体验能够吸引不同的、有才华的学生进入生物医学/数据科学 事业。此外，我们将通过以下方式加强生物医学信息学研究、健康和医疗保健的多样性 培养下一代创新型城市资源管理研究人员，他们将并正在为以下方面做出重要贡献 生物医学信息学和数据科学。
