## Abstract

Abstract
The goal of the program is to provide training in computational methods development in genomics and related
areas to researchers at the graduate student or postdoctoral level as well as provide exposure of the
participants to faculty from multiple institutions with the goal of providing opportunities for career transitions
(graduate student to postdoc and postdoc to faculty). While there are plenty of short courses that provide
training in how to use computational methods to analyze data, very few exist to provide training on how to
develop such methods and our program will fill this need. With more and more types of data becoming
available in large quantities, the ability to develop new and adapt existing methods in innovative ways is a
critical skill for a successful researcher. Our program is useful for those trainee researchers whose career
focus is computational methods development, but will also be useful for those researchers who want to add a
methods development component to their research program. Our program will consist of a one month summer
program at the University of California, Los Angeles integrated with a year round mentoring program building
upon relationships that are established during the one month program. An outreach program is integrated into
the program.
