The Stanford Training Program in ELSI Research

 描述（由申请人提供）：我们对斯坦福大学拟议研究培训计划的愿景是创建独立的ELSI学者，他们可以对遗传学和基因组学的伦理，法律的，社会或政策影响进行严格的研究，从广泛的概念框架和方法中借鉴。拟议的计划将建立在合作，课程和经验开发超过ELSI研究培训十年的历史作为ELSI研究卓越中心。目前在斯坦福大学还没有其他这样的培训项目，它将成为美国为数不多的跨学科项目之一。计划：多学科和跨学科的3年博士后和2年的博士前培训。3名博士后和5名博士前研究员将在5年内接受培训，任何时候最多5名研究员。受训人员：博士和博士候选人来自不同的背景，包括遗传学，生物科学和工程，信息学，哲学，卫生服务研究和社会科学。导师：多种导师模式，根据学员的个人需求和兴趣量身定制。受训者被分配一名主要导师，负责受训者计划的整体发展，并根据具体的职业，研究方法和主题领域的需求分配二级导师。项目总监：Mildred Cho博士是遗传学与伦理学研究整合中心（CIRGE）ELSI研究培训计划组成部分的经验丰富的主任，该中心是斯坦福大学NHGRI资助的ELSI研究卓越中心。课程教师：来自10个主要部门的30名课程教师，代表医学，人文科学，法律和工程学院进行ELSI相关研究。核心教师桑德拉·李博士，大卫马格纳斯博士，汉克格里利，JD和凯利奥蒙德，MS是有经验的导师和培训项目的董事在自己的权利，和同事谁已经目前与项目总监米尔德里德·赵博士合作ELSI培训，研究和伦理咨询活动。教育项目：为每个学员提供个性化的培训计划，包括生物伦理学和人类遗传学的核心课程，以及特定于计划的ELSI研讨会，为拟议计划以及其他培训计划的教师和学员提供丰富的跨学科互动。斯坦福大学提供各种选修课程。还包括研究伦理咨询和临床伦理咨询的实习培训。研究项目：由学员指导的研究将汇集来自不同学科的教师，通过实证或规范研究来确定和解决重要和新颖的ELSI问题。学员有许多机会进行研究，作为正在进行的ELSI项目的一部分，以及开发新的想法，并在专业会议上介绍他们的研究，并在同行评审的期刊上发表。

 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our vision for the proposed research training program at Stanford University is to create independent ELSI scholars who can conduct rigorous research on ethical, legal, social or policy implications of genetics and genomics, drawing from a wide range of conceptual frameworks and methods. The proposed program will build on collaborations, curricula and experience developed over a ten-year history of ELSI research training as a Center for Excellence in ELSI Research. There is currently no other training program like this at Stanford University, and would represent one of a handful of such interdisciplinary programs in the country. Program: Multi- and interdisciplinary 3-year postdoctoral and 2-year predoctoral training. 3 postdoctoral and 5 predoctoral fellows will be trained over a 5-year period, with a maximum of 5 fellows at any given time. Trainees: PhDs and PhD candidates recruited from diverse backgrounds, including genetics, biological sciences and engineering, informatics, philosophy, health services research and social sciences. Mentors: Multiple mentorship model, tailored to individual trainee needs and interests. Trainees are assigned a primary mentor responsible for overall development of the trainee's plans, and secondary mentors assigned based on specific career, research methods, and topic area needs. Program Director: Mildred Cho, PhD is an experienced director of the ELSI research training program component of the Center for Integration of Research on Genetics and Ethics (CIRGE), the NHGRI-funded Center for Excellence in ELSI Research at Stanford. Program Faculty: 30 Program Faculty from 10 primary departments, representing Schools of Medicine, Humanities and Sciences, Law, and Engineering who conduct ELSI-relevant research. Core Faculty members Sandra Lee, PhD, David Magnus, PhD, Hank Greely, JD and Kelly Ormond, MS are experienced mentors and directors of training programs in their own right, and colleagues who already currently collaborate with the Program Director Mildred Cho, PhD on ELSI training, research, and ethics consultation activities. Education Program: Individualized training program for each trainee that includes core courses in bioethics, and human genetics, as well as program-specific ELSI seminars, providing rich interdisciplinary interaction with faculty and trainees from the proposed program as well as from other training programs. Elective courses are available from a wide range of offerings at Stanford University. Practicum training in research ethics consultation and clinical ethics consultation is also included. Research Program: Mentored research by trainees will bring together faculty from diverse disciplines to identify and address important and novel ELSI issues through empirical or normative research. Trainees have numerous opportunities to conduct research as part of ongoing ELSI projects as well as to develop new ideas, and to present their research at professional meetings and publish in peer-reviewed journals.
