Improving access to genomic data science education for diverse institutions.
EXPANDING THE GENOMIC DATA SCIENCE COMMUNITY NETWORK FOR NHGRI.
This study is working to provide better training and resources in genomics and data science for community colleges and schools that serve minority students, so they can learn how to use important genomic data tools and improve their educational opportunities.

What this research studies
This research aims to enhance educational opportunities in genomics and data science for institutions that lack resources, particularly community colleges and minority-serving institutions. By developing training materials and increasing outreach, the project seeks to empower a wider range of undergraduate institutions to access genomic data science. The initiative will utilize the Genomic Data Science Analysis, Visualization, and Informatics Lab-space (AnVIL), a cloud-based resource that facilitates data sharing and analysis for the genomic community.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation or benefit include students and faculty from community colleges and minority-serving institutions interested in genomic data science.
Not a fit: Patients who are not affiliated with educational institutions or who are not pursuing studies in genomics or data science may not receive benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly diversify the genomic data science workforce and improve educational access for underrepresented institutions.
How similar studies have performed: Similar initiatives have shown success in increasing diversity and access in STEM fields, indicating a promising potential for this approach.
