Genomic Workforce Development Core

摘要 夏威夷大学（UH）内学生多样性的独特性，以及全州范围内广泛的相互联系 本科（UG）教育网络和现有的UG研究计划，将使我们能够创建一个多样化的 研究生水平（GR）的“劳动力培训”计划，导致在基因组学的职业生涯。我们称之为“Power-G” 促进劳动力就业和基因组学准备。 主要目标是建立一个强大的综合教育管道，以开发一个坚实的基因组和 生物信息学GR学生培训和专业发展经验，利用现有资源， 呃在大和资源建立在拟议的太平洋基因组研究中心。我们的互动GR 培训计划涉及软技能，研究，和实际的“对学位”的培训和能力，联系 候选人的硕士和博士学位基因组学和/或相关生物信息学学位。 基因组劳动力发展核心里程碑： ·通过支持UG和GR的研究工作，促进对基因组事业的兴趣。 ·设计和实施基础基因组核心培训，重点是各种下一代 测序工作流程包括运行和维护测序和其他核心仪器的能力。 ·确保台式技能的能力，以便在每个分析步骤中产生高质量的数据。 ·在我们的学员中建立专业和软技能能力，以推进他们在基因组学方面的职业生涯。 基因组劳动力发展核心的预期成果： ·我们的基因组UG和GR候选人将代表性不足的群体，如由 文化和种族多样性的独特地位，在UH和国家强烈代表。 ·我们的基因组GR领导者（MS，Ph.D.，和博士后水平）将多样化和加强基因组 核心国家和国际基因组研究作出贡献。 ·我们的基因组GR领导者将反过来成为他人的强有力的领导者、监督者和导师。 该培训计划将过渡到正式的1年研究生证书课程，以满足指数 基因组学的增长以及目前和未来对基因组研究和精确性的多样化劳动力的需求 药 基因组劳动力发展核心的具体目标是： 目标1：基因组教育输送管道。为了启动、确定和支持教育网络， 和GR，以开发一个馈线管道，以提高基因组技能。目标2：基因组训练。 加强和支持研究生途径进入基因组研究。目标3：提升高级技能 基因组劳动力。发展和推广先进的劳动力培训平台，以满足当前和 基因组学的未来研究和工业需求。

ABSTRACT The uniqueness of student diversity within the University of Hawaii (UH), and the vast state-wide interlinked undergraduate (UG) educational network and existing UG research programs, will enable us to create a diverse graduate-level (GR) ‘workforce-in-training’ program leading to careers in genomics. We term this "PoWER-G" - Promotion of Workforce Employment and Readiness in Genomics. The primary goal is to establish a robust integrated educational pipeline to develop a solid genomic and bioinformatic GR student training and professional development experience, which utilizes existing resources at UH at large and resources built at the proposed Pacific Center for Genome Research. Our interactive GR training program involves soft skills, research, and practical “on-the-degree” training and competencies, linked to the candidates' MS and Ph.D. degrees in genomics and/or related bioinformatics. Genomic Workforce Development Core Milestones: · Promote interests in genomic careers by supporting research endeavors of UGs and GRs. · Design and implement a foundational genomic core training that focuses on various Next-Generation Sequencing workflows including capabilities to run and maintain sequencing and other core instruments. · Ensure competencies in bench-top skills in order to produce high-quality data at each analytical step. · Build professional and soft-skill competencies in our trainees to advance their careers in genomics. Expected Outcomes for the Genomic Workforce Development Core: · Our genomic UG and GR candidates will represent Underrepresented Populations, as potentiated by the unique position of cultural and ethnic diversity, represented strongly at UH and the state. · Our genomic GR leaders (MS, Ph.D., and Post-Doctoral level) will diversify and strengthen genomic cores nationally and contribute to genomic research internationally. · Our genomic GR leaders will, in turn, become strong leaders, supervisors, and mentors for others. This training program will transition into a formal 1-year Graduate Certificate Program to meet the exponential growth in genomics and the present and future needs for a diverse workforce for genomic research and precision medicine. The Specific Aims of the Genomic Workforce Development Core are: Aim 1: Genomic education feeder pipeline. To initiate, identify, and support educational networks, both UG and GR, to develop a feeder pipeline for advancing Genomic skills. Aim 2: On-the-degree genomic training. To strengthen and support post-graduate pathways into Genomic research. Aim 3: Upskilling an advanced genomic workforce. To develop and promote an advanced workforce training platform to meet the current and future research and industrial needs in Genomics.
