Abstract

The Genomics Education Partnership (GEP), a consortium of diverse colleges/universities, provides support for integrating genomics research into undergraduate curricula. To increase research opportunities for underrepresented students, GEP is expanding to more community colleges (CC). Genomics research, requiring only a computer with internet access, may be particularly accessible for 2-year institutions with limited research capacity and significant budget constraints. To understand how GEP supports student research at CCs, we analyzed student knowledge and self-reported outcomes. We found that CC student gains are comparable to non-CC student gains, with improvements in attitudes toward science and thriving in science. Our early findings suggest that the GEP model of centralized support with flexible CURE implementation benefits CC students and may help mitigate barriers to implementing research at CCs.

基因组学教育伙伴关系：社区大学基因组学研究的首次发现。

基因组学教育伙伴关系（GEP）是一个由不同学院/大学组成的联盟，为将基因组学研究纳入本科课程提供支持。为了增加代表性不足学生的研究机会，GEP正在向更多的社区学院（CC）扩展。基因组学研究只需要一台可以上网的计算机，对于研究能力有限、预算严重受限的2年制机构来说，这可能特别容易。为了了解GEP如何支持CC的学生研究，我们分析了学生的知识和自我报告的结果。我们发现，CC学生的学习成绩与非CC学生的成绩相当，他们对科学的态度有所改善，在科学领域蓬勃发展。我们的早期发现表明，GEP模式的集中支持和灵活的CURE实施有利于CC学生，并可能有助于减轻在CC实施研究的障碍。
