Research experience pathways in genomic data science (PATH-GDS) for underrepresented groups

摘要 接受过数据科学和基因组学培训的人是充分实现过剩的关键 基因组学和生物医学的交汇处的数据。此外，基因组学中的多样性 劳动力是必要的，以支持创造力，研究代表不足的群体的条件， 并确保所进行的研究具有普遍性，对所有人都有利。在这里，我们 提出基因组数据科学路径(PATH-GDS)研究体验计划 数学系统计硕士和应用数学硕士学生 科罗拉多大学丹佛分校(CU Denver)统计科学。加州大学丹佛分校是独一无二的 定位于两个校区：市中心校区，设有本科课程和CLOSE 靠近不同的招聘机构，安舒茨医学院与世界 著名的生物医学和人类基因组研究。在Path-GDS中，我们将：(1)招募学者 来自生物医学和基因组研究中代表性不足的不同群体；(2)培训 来自不同基因组研究和职业技能背景的量化硕士学生；以及 (3)创建、支持和保留多元化的数据科学基因组学社区。通过这样做，我们将 在科罗拉多州的The Mountain建立和支持一个多样化的数据科学基因组学社区 西边和更远的地方。

Summary Individuals trained in both data science and genomics are essential to fully realizing the plethora of data at the intersection of genomics and biomedicine. Additionally, diversity in the genomics workforce is necessary to support creativity, the study of conditions in underrepresented groups, and ensure that research performed is generalizable and beneficial to all people. Here, we propose the Pathways in Genomic Data Science (PATH-GDS) research experience program for MS Statistics and MS Applied Mathematics students within the Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of Colorado Denver (CU Denver). CU Denver is uniquely positioned with two campuses: the Downtown Campus with undergraduate programs and close proximity to diverse recruiting institutions, and the Anschutz Medical Campus with world renowned biomedical and human genomics research. In PATH-GDS we will: (1) recruit scholars from diverse groups underrepresented in biomedical and genomics research; (2) train quantitative MS students from diverse backgrounds in genomics research and career skills; and (3) create, support, and retain a diverse data science genomics community. In doing so, we will build and support a diverse data science genomics community within Colorado, the Mountain West, and beyond.
