Broadening Opportunities for Computational Genomics and Data Science Education (UE5 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The NIH Research Education Program (UE5) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The overarching goal of this UE5 program is to support educational activities that encourage individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical and behavioral sciences, to pursue further studies or careers in computational genomics and data science research. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this NOFO will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on: Courses for Skills Development Specifically, this UE5 program will support faculty members at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) to create undergraduate or masters degree courses in computational genomics, data science, or a combination of these topics. Support for this activity will be provided by the Educational Hub for Enhancing Diversity in Computational Genomics and Data Science, created through RFA-HG-22-002. For developing skills in computational genomics and data science, these courses will leverage the resources of NIH cloud computing platforms such as NHGRIs AnVIL and the All of Us Researcher Workbench.
