# Genetics and Genomics PhD Training Grant

> **NIH NIH T32** · HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL · 2020 · $35,672

## Abstract

The T32 Program in Genetics and Genomics at Harvard Medical School trains 6 student per year to prepare
them for careers advancing our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of hereditary disease, and
genomic methodologies. This is a proposal for a supplement that will allow us to develop new programming
that advances diversity of our students, and promotes a sense of inclusion across the program. The proposal is
designed to develop and test programs that can, if successful, become part of the orientation activities and
coursework for all of the PhD students in life sciences at Harvard Medical School. To do so we will 1) develop
novel orientation events that will establish an inclusive culture and community, and will involve both incoming
students and more senior members of the community 2) work with Diversity Fellows from the School of
Education to initiate new programming focused on sustaining inclusive learning environments in the lab,
activities that can be incorporated into the ongoing Conduct of Science course, and 3) host a Symposium on
Bias in Genetics and Genomics Research, to demonstrate the importance of diversity and inclusion in our
science, as well as in our new scientists. These activities are designed to enhance the training program in
genetics and genomics and extend the impact of these efforts to the broader HMS community and scientific
community.
