Project Summary/Abstract The project will create a coordinating center to deliver mentoring and research experiences in STEM for high school students from groups historically excluded in the sciences (e.g., ethnic and gender minorities, rural students, economically disadvantaged) across Department of Health & Human Services Region A. This will be done by training mentors (from minority serving and predominantly undergraduate institutions, as well as state schools) in advanced genomics techniques and inclusive pedagogy. Mentors from across the region will be trained and equipped by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory DNA Learning Center to bring advanced genomics into their mentoring and teaching. An extensive outreach effort will select high school students to be paired with regional mentors for an eight-week summer research experience, concluding with a research symposium presentation at NIH. Students will then continue into an extended nine-month mentoring program where they will continue their research work, data science skill building, and exposure to STEM career opportunities, especially in genomics areas relevant to NIKDD mission areas. Ultimately, a sustainable network of mentors and students will create new, inclusive opportunities that diversify the nation’s STEM workforce.

项目总结/摘要 该项目将创建一个协调中心，为高科技企业提供STEM方面的指导和研究经验。 来自历史上被排除在科学之外的群体的学生（例如，少数民族和性别、农村 学生，经济上处于不利地位）在卫生与人类服务部A区。这将是 由培训导师（来自少数民族服务和主要是本科院校，以及国家 学校）在先进的基因组学技术和包容性教学法。来自该地区的导师将 由冷泉港实验室DNA学习中心训练和装备， 他们的指导和教学。一项广泛的推广工作将选择高中学生与 区域导师为期八周的夏季研究经验，最后是一个研究研讨会 在NIH的介绍。然后，学生将继续参加为期九个月的辅导计划， 继续他们的研究工作，数据科学技能建设，并接触STEM职业机会，特别是 与NIKDD使命领域相关的基因组学领域。最终，一个可持续的导师和学生网络 将创造新的，包容性的机会，使国家的STEM劳动力多样化。
