Predoctoral Training Program in Biological Data Science at Brown University
Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE (3 sentences). Investigating the nature and behavior of living systems increasingly involves the analysis of large-scale and multi- scale datasets; for example, many biomedical studies now routinely integrate -omic and cellular data with popu- lation-level covariates or an organism's phenotypic responses. This predoctoral training program will yield mul- tiple cohorts of rising investigators with fluency in both biological data and theory relevant to biological processes, via interdisciplinary didactic, research, and career development opportunities that foster a cohesive mentoring and training community at the faculty and student levels. This training program is relevant to NIGMS's mission because it will train a new generation of Biological Data Scientists, assuring the vitality and continued productivity of basic research as biological datasets expand in size, scale and complexity.
