Workforce Development Core

项目总结 如果所有人都要从最近的全球经济一体化中受益，基因组工作人员的多样化被认为是一项战略任务 以及在基因组科学和精确医学方面的预期进展。劳动力发展的核心将是 专注于扩大在人类基因组学和其他领域拥有专业知识和技能的个人队伍 在普通公众中，特别是在墨西哥裔美国人中，培养基因组扫盲。核心意志 推动少数族裔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 在生物医学研究中，国家需要更多来自代表性不足背景的科学家。这个 劳动力发展核心公司将利用两个极具创新性的研究项目提供基因组学培训 并向来自大学的学生、博士后、住院医生和教职员工提供研究经验。我们会 通过与麻省理工学院合作，积极从生物学和生物医学科学以外的领域寻找教员实习生 教育和工程与计算机科学学院。员工队伍发展核心将拥有 通过培训提高基因组学素养，提高人们对基因组学的兴趣和从事基因组学职业 面向K-12教育工作者和医疗保健提供者。与教育学院密切合作，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，以及论文或论文支持 面向教育学研究生和当地学区的教师。我们将提供面向基因组学的 通过创建基因组研究成功计划来提升研究职业生涯的机会 提供赠款精神培训和研究成果的传播。此外，我们还将促进与 其他现有的机构和国家职业发展活动。最后，我们将建立一种指导 计划通过一对一的指导和培训促进人类遗传学和基因组学研究的增长 基因组研究方面的指导。与当地学区合作，我们将参加职业生涯日和其他活动 开展活动，提高对遗传学职业的认识。

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.
