View Award Description

Genomic Training Program for Nurse Scientists - This application is for an Institutional NRSA training program that has the goal to train talented nurse scientists at the beginning stages of their careers and to develop their research trajectories related to the application and evaluation of genomics to improve patient care and outcomes. Omics research continues to be relevant for nursing research, evidenced by the momentum for precision health care. Bringing research efforts to bear upon clinically relevant issues requires that a continuous cadre of individuals receive state of the science education and training to allow them to incorporate omics into their research trajectories. Nurses are uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between omics research and clinical practice. They interact with patients at all stages of life, and in all clinical arenas. Their work is interdisciplinary by nature. More nurses are now receiving education in omics because of the inclusion of genomics into nursing curricula across the country. Nevertheless, there continue to be few opportunities for long-term analytical and molecular laboratory-based training in the conduct of cutting-edge omics research. Such training opportunities are essential because nearly every condition studied by nurse scientists, including those on the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh, School of Nursing, has an omic component. This training program will be accomplished using didactic courses, multidisciplinary research collaborations, strong mentoring from a team of mentors, on-campus and off-campus workshops and institutes, journal clubs, seminars, individualized practica and apprenticeships, hands-on laboratory-based projects, hands-on analytics and bioinformatics, grant writing, and dissemination through publications and presentations at scientific meetings. The goal of the training program is to prepare predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees to incorporate omics into their research trajectories using didactic courses, clinical rotations, journal clubs, seminars, individualized practica, laboratory experiences, and presentations at scientific meetings. Objectives of the program focus on training in: 1) the integration of omics into research study designs, 2) omics research methodologies, 3) omics laboratory techniques, 4) omics analytics and bioinformatics, and 5) clinical applicability of omics.
