Abstract

The goal of the parent University of Massachusetts Boston (UMass Boston) and Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) U54 CA156734 Partnership is to âpursue Partnership activities and research that will bridge the divides in cancer disparities science, research education, and outreach through innovative research, training, and practice.â This NOSI will extend these activities into the data science space by coupling the need to embrace new paradigms for computational research to equally urgent requirements to diversify and grow the computational genomics data sciences (CGDS) research workforce. This will be pursued through the accomplishment of 3 Specific Aims designed as a three-part educational and community development program: 1) Build a CGDS immersion workshop for undergraduate students of diverse backgrounds; 2) Develop complementary courses in CGDS, and 3) Aim 3: Build a data science community through mentored research and an inclusive âdata club.â The scientific goal of this project is to resource the development and implementation of interdisciplinary education and training in biological data sciences that will enable the translation of data into biological insights to address cancer and cancer disparities. The community goal of this project is to offer many opportunities for training, education, and community building, including experiences specifically aimed at expanding participation of underrepresented minorities in genomics-focused biology and data science. The accomplishment of these goals will build a sustainable program to train diverse students as âmultilingualâ scientists with a broad range of skills and knowledge in both data and biological sciences that can effectively communicate and exchange ideas across disciplines to advance cancer- and cancer disparities-focused genomic sciences research.
