# Graduate Training in Bioinformatics

> **NIH NIH T32** · NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY RALEIGH · 2024 · $276,840

## Abstract

ABSTRACT
Renewal is requested for a long-running and successful Environmental Health Bioinformatics (EHB) training
program at NC State University, with support for 5 predoctoral trainee slots, which will be augmented by generous
institutional support. This training program has produced scientists who occupy leadership and key scientific
roles conducting Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) research at academic, government, and industry
institutions. The structures supporting our EHB program, the Bioinformatics Research Center (BRC) and the
Bioinformatics Graduate Program, synergize with institutional strengths in training of predoctoral scientists. The
current proposal leverages the momentum in EHS and Data Science at NC State to further enhance EHB training
with (i) an expanded leadership structure, (ii) updated training elements and professional development activities,
and (iii) a revised training faculty. The administrative organization incorporates new ideas on best practices in
research training and enhancing diversity in recruitment, training, and professional opportunities. The revised
training faculty align with a new synthesis of EHB, where fundamental research in several disciplinary pillars
contributes to advancing EHS: Bioinformatics & Genomics, Quantitative & Computational Methods, and
Exposomics & Population Health.
