MARC: SUMMER INSTITUTE IN BIOINFORMATICS - JUNE 2010

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 匹兹堡超级计算中心(PSC)的科学家拥有多年教授学术和工业研究人员生物信息学技术的经验。与少数群体服务伙伴机构合作，制定了一项特别的技术转让和推广计划，以帮助增加少数群体对生物医学研究的参与。这项由国立卫生研究院少数人获得研究职业机会(MARC)计划资助的努力包括： *匹兹堡超级计算中心为期两周的生物信息学暑期研究所向少数族裔服务机构的教职员工和研究生开放。这一课程的重点是让教师准备教授一门为期一学期的生物信息学课程，该课程围绕分析基因或蛋白质家族而组织。 *匹兹堡超级计算中心为期七周的研究实习，面向在当地校园完成生物信息学培训的学生。 *发展生物信息学的示范课程，包括生物学、计算科学和数学领域的相关课程材料。这些课程的内容将在完成后纳入研讨会。 *每年在两个为少数族裔服务的校园协助建立和加强生物信息学方案，包括为新设立的课程提供教学援助。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC) scientists have many years of experience teaching bioinformatics techniques to both academic and industrial researchers. In collaboration with minority serving partner institutions, a special technology transfer and outreach program has been developed to help increase minority participation in biomedical research. This effort, funded through the National Institutes of Health Minority Access to Research Careers (MARC) program includes: * An intense two-week Summer Institute in Bioinformatics at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center open to faculty and graduate students at minority serving institutions. The session focuses on preparing faculty to teach a semester long bioinformatics course organized around analyzing a gene or protein family. * A seven-week research internship at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center for students that have completed bioinformatics training on their local campus. * The development of a model curriculum for Bioinformatics including related course materials for the fields of Biology, Computational Science and Mathematics. Elements from these courses are incorporated into the workshop as they are completed. * Assistance in establishing and strengthening the Bioinformatics programs at two minority serving campuses each year, including teaching assistance for newly established courses.
