Graduate Training in Bioinformatics

摘要 要求续订长期且成功的环境健康生物信息学(EHB)培训 北卡罗来纳州州立大学的项目，支持5个博士前实习生名额，并将通过慷慨的方式扩大 制度保障。这一培训计划培养出了占据领导地位的科学家和关键的科学工作者 在学术、政府和行业开展环境健康科学(EHS)研究的角色 机构。支持我们的EHB计划的结构、生物信息学研究中心(BRC)和 生物信息学研究生计划，在培养博士前科学家方面与机构力量协同。这个 目前的提案利用北卡罗来纳州EHS和数据科学的势头进一步加强EHB培训 (1)扩大领导结构，(2)更新培训内容和专业发展活动， 以及(Iii)经修订的培训学院。行政组织吸收了关于以下方面的最佳做法的新想法 研究培训和提高招聘、培训和专业机会的多样性。修订后的 培训教师与EHB的新合成相一致，在该合成中，几个学科支柱的基础研究 有助于推进EHS：生物信息学和基因组学，定量和计算方法，以及 世博经济学与人口健康。

ABSTRACT Renewal is requested for a long-running and successful Environmental Health Bioinformatics (EHB) training program at NC State University, with support for 5 predoctoral trainee slots, which will be augmented by generous institutional support. This training program has produced scientists who occupy leadership and key scientific roles conducting Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) research at academic, government, and industry institutions. The structures supporting our EHB program, the Bioinformatics Research Center (BRC) and the Bioinformatics Graduate Program, synergize with institutional strengths in training of predoctoral scientists. The current proposal leverages the momentum in EHS and Data Science at NC State to further enhance EHB training with (i) an expanded leadership structure, (ii) updated training elements and professional development activities, and (iii) a revised training faculty. The administrative organization incorporates new ideas on best practices in research training and enhancing diversity in recruitment, training, and professional opportunities. The revised training faculty align with a new synthesis of EHB, where fundamental research in several disciplinary pillars contributes to advancing EHS: Bioinformatics & Genomics, Quantitative & Computational Methods, and Exposomics & Population Health.
