Example of a Genomic Science Training Program
(M. Boehnke, U. Michigan)
• Program interfaces mathematics and human genomics/genetics
• Graduates major in one discipline and have sufficient foundation in a complementary discipline
• Students matriculate one semester early• Program has multiple program enhancements • 42/46 past trainees are in research• Additional funding is important for recruiting/retaining URMs.

Example of a Genomic Medicine Training Program
(Jeffery Vance, U. Miami)
• MS in genomic medicine and MD curricula run concurrently
• Curriculum includes didactic courses, online modules, and small group discussions with faculty
• Benefits:– Students are pioneers in genomic medicine– Genomic medicine is recognized as being integral to medicine
• Challenges:– Serious time commitment– Costs

Future of NHGRI Training and Career Development Activities
•Challenges•Recommendations•Overarching Principles•Recurring Themes
![Page 9: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Unique Challenges for NHGRI
• Pace of genomic advances• Need to target multiple audiences• Reduction in appropriation dollars• Need to identify NHGRI’s niche within
the strategic plan
![Page 10: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Key Issues for Discussions
• What knowledge and skills are needed? • What are the most effective ways and environments to
integrate genomic science with genomic medicine?• How best to leverage training in the clinical areas?• What are the most effective ways to enhance training in the
foundational sciences for basic and clinical trainees and researchers?
• What percentage of the extramural budget should be allotted to training and career development?
![Page 11: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Career Development:Recommendations
• Expand the K01 to cross-train clinicians and genomicists in genomic medicine
• Continue to support K01s, K25s and K99/R00s• Support individuals interested in technology
development• Support individual K awards initially
![Page 12: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Career Development:Key Elements of Training
• Defined general approach that is applicable across diseases
• Defined curriculum and training plan • Environment rich in genomic research• Access to critical resources• Dual mentoring in complementary
disciplines
![Page 13: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Research Training:Recommendations
• Expand training to encompass genomic medicine• Continue training in the foundational sciences• Support individual and institutional training• Allow flexibility in course requirements • Strengthen the foundation in genomic medicine by
supporting training in the data sciences and ELSI• Limit training in genomic medicine to PhDs, MDs
or their equivalents
![Page 14: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Genomic Medicine: Key Elements of Training
• There should be two paths for training: (1) genomic medicine researcher and (2) master clinical genomicist
• Didactic training is essential• ELSI training should be required • Training may vary between two to three years• Four trainees were considered a critical mass for
a viable training program
![Page 15: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Genomic Medicine: Key Elements of Training (continued)
• Clinicians should: –enter during their fellowship–devote 75% or more time to research–devote up to 25% time to maintain
clinical credentials–use clinical time to apply genomics in
the clinic
![Page 16: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Short Courses:Recommendations
• Continue to support courses• Pursue new methods of
disseminating information• Collaborate with professional
societies to conduct courses in genomic medicine
![Page 17: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Overarching Principles
• Fund more training and career development activities
• The goals should be: – Expand the base of knowledge in genomic
medicine– Continue to support the foundational sciences– Develop leaders
![Page 18: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Overarching Principles (continued)
• Train “broadly and deeply”• Train behavioral and health services
researchers • Develop a professional network of
trainees and K awardees• Support the Diversity Action Plan
![Page 19: WORKSHOP SUMMARY NHGRI Training and Career Development Programs](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56812bd6550346895d9040da/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Recurring Themes
• Increase diversity• Use a variety of metrics to measure
success• Educate practicing physicians• Collaborate with other NIH units to
leverage NHGRI support
