PROJECT SUMMARY Diversifying the genomics workforce is recognized as a strategic imperative if all people are to benefit from recent and anticipated advances in genomic science and precision medicine. The Workforce Development Core will be focused on expanding the cadre of individuals with expert knowledge and skills in human genomics and on fostering genomic literacy among the general public, especially among Mexican Americans. The Core will advance the career development of minority scientists and trainees in genomic research, helping to address the broad national need for more scientists from underrepresented backgrounds in biomedical research. The Workforce Development Core will leverage two highly innovative research projects to provide genomics training and research experiences to students, postdocs, residents, and faculty from across the University. We will actively seek faculty trainees from outside biology and biomedical sciences by working with the College of Education and the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The Workforce Development Core will have work to improve genomic literacy and enhance interest in genomics and careers in genomics through training targeted to K-12 educators and healthcare providers. Working closely with the College of Education, we propose to offer innovative short-courses in genomics, genomics research experiences, and dissertation or thesis support to graduate students in education and teachers in local school districts. We will provide genomics-oriented research career enhancement opportunities through creation of a Genomic Research Success Program that will provide training in grantsmanship and dissemination of research results. Additionally, we will foster synergy with other existing institutional and national career development activities. Finally, we will establish a mentoring program to foster the growth of research in human genetics and genomics through one-on-one mentoring and guidance in genomic research. Working with local school districts, we will participate in career days and other activities to promote awareness of careers in genetics.

项目摘要 如果所有人都要从最近的基因组学中受益，那么使基因组学工作人员多样化被认为是一项战略要务。 以及基因组科学和精准医疗的预期进展。劳动力发展核心将 重点是扩大在人类基因组学方面具有专业知识和技能的个人骨干队伍， 在公众中培养基因组素养，特别是在墨西哥裔美国人中。芯会 促进少数民族科学家和受训人员在基因组研究方面的职业发展，帮助解决 全国范围内需要更多来自生物医学研究领域代表性不足背景的科学家。的 劳动力发展核心将利用两个高度创新的研究项目提供基因组学培训 和研究经验的学生，博士后，居民，和教师来自整个大学。我们将 积极寻求教师学员从生物学和生物医学科学以外的工作与学院 教育和工程与计算机科学学院。劳动力发展核心将有 努力提高基因组知识水平，并通过培训提高对基因组学和基因组学职业的兴趣 针对K-12教育工作者和医疗保健提供者。与教育学院紧密合作，我们建议 提供创新的基因组学短期课程，基因组学研究经验，论文或论文支持 教育专业的研究生和当地学区的教师。我们将提供基因组学导向的 通过创建基因组研究成功计划， 提供研究和传播研究成果方面的培训。此外，我们将促进与 其他现有的机构和国家职业发展活动。最后，我们将建立一个指导 通过一对一的指导促进人类遗传学和基因组学研究增长的计划， 指导基因组研究。与当地学区合作，我们将参加职业日和其他活动， 开展活动，提高对遗传学职业的认识。
