Computational Genomics Summer Institute and Mentoring Network

摘要 该计划的目标是提供在基因组学和相关的计算方法的发展培训 领域的研究人员在研究生或博士后水平，以及提供曝光的 来自多个机构的参与者和教师，目标是提供职业转变的机会 （研究生到博士后和博士后到教师）。虽然有很多短期课程， 培训如何使用计算方法来分析数据，很少有培训提供如何 开发这样的方法，我们的项目将满足这一需求。随着越来越多的数据类型成为 大量可用，以创新方式开发新方法和调整现有方法的能力是一个 一个成功的研究人员的关键技能。我们的计划是有用的那些实习研究员， 重点是计算方法的发展，但也将是有用的那些研究人员谁想要添加一个 方法开发的组成部分，他们的研究计划。我们的计划将包括一个为期一个月的夏季 加州大学洛杉矶分校的一个项目，与一个全年的指导项目建设相结合 在为期一个月的课程中建立的关系。一项推广计划被纳入 节目

Abstract The goal of the program is to provide training in computational methods development in genomics and related areas to researchers at the graduate student or postdoctoral level as well as provide exposure of the participants to faculty from multiple institutions with the goal of providing opportunities for career transitions (graduate student to postdoc and postdoc to faculty). While there are plenty of short courses that provide training in how to use computational methods to analyze data, very few exist to provide training on how to develop such methods and our program will fill this need. With more and more types of data becoming available in large quantities, the ability to develop new and adapt existing methods in innovative ways is a critical skill for a successful researcher. Our program is useful for those trainee researchers whose career focus is computational methods development, but will also be useful for those researchers who want to add a methods development component to their research program. Our program will consist of a one month summer program at the University of California, Los Angeles integrated with a year round mentoring program building upon relationships that are established during the one month program. An outreach program is integrated into the program.
