PATHWAYS TO EXCELLENCE - BUILDING A COMMUNITY OF STEM SCHOLARS AT COLLEGE OF NOTRE DAME OF MARYLAND

MODERNIZING BIOLOGY CURRICULA BY DEVELOPING ACCESSIBLE GENOMIC DATA SCIENCE MINICURES FOR THE ANVIL PLATFORM - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP TWO SHORT-FORMAT, INTRODUCTORY, MODULAR, COURSE-BASED UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCES (MINICURES), AND DELIVER THIS COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS AND DATA SCIENCE (CGDS) CURRICULUM TO A BROAD CROSS-SECTION OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. OUR RNA-SEQ MINICURE HAS BEEN TAKEN BY OVER 500 STUDENTS ACROSS TWO INSTITUTIONS AND PROVIDES A ROBUST MECHANISM TO BRING COMPUTATIONAL RESEARCH EXPERIENCES TO FIRST YEAR UNDERGRADUATES NATIONWIDE. BUILDING UPON OUR EXISTING RNA-SEQ MINICURE WE PLAN TO ENRICH AND EXPAND ITS CONTENT BY INTRODUCING NEW DATASETS AND INTEGRATING THE MATERIALS ONTO THE NHGRI GENOMIC DATA SCIENCE ANALYSIS, VISUALIZATION, AND INFORMATICS LAB-SPACE, OR ANVIL. IN PARALLEL, WE WILL DEVELOP A NEW MINICURE THAT ANALYZES THE IMPACT OF HUMAN GUT MICROBIOME MANIPULATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE HOST. OUR SUCCESS WILL INTRODUCE EXPERTISE FOR FACULTY/INSTRUCTORS AND BROADEN THE EXPOSURE AND USE OF CGDS MATERIAL BY CURRENTLY UNDERSERVED STUDENTS AT COMMUNITY COLLEGES, MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS, TRIBAL COLLEGES, AND UNDER- RESOURCED INSTITUTIONS. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL: 1) ENHANCE THE RNA-SEQ MINICURE WITH THE ANVIL PLATFORM, 2) DEVELOP AN ANVIL-BASED HUMAN MICROBIOME METAGENOMICS MINICURE, AND 3) BROADEN MINICURE ADOPTION ACROSS INSTITUTIONS. THE MODULAR MINICURE MATERIALS CAN BE DELIVERED IN A RANGE OF FORMATS FROM IN-PERSON OR HYBRID SHORT COURSES, ASYNCHRONOUSLY, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MASSIVE ONLINE OPEN COURSES. ALL FRAMEWORK, CONTENT, AND PEDAGOGY DEVELOPED BY OUR TEAM WILL BE OPEN SOURCE AND MADE ACCESSIBLE TO THE BROADEST POSSIBLE AUDIENCE BY LEVERAGING OUR EXISTING EXPERTISE IN ONLINE AND SCALABLE IN-PERSON EDUCATION AND BIOINFORMATICS PLATFORMS. TOGETHER, DISSEMINATION OF THESE ANVIL MINICURES WILL ENABLE MORE DIVERSE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO PROVIDE THEIR STUDENTS WITH HANDS-ON RESEARCH EXPERIENCES IN GENOMICS, ENHANCING COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS, AND PREPARING THE NEXT GENERATION OF GENOMICS RESEARCHERS AND PROFESSIONALS.

THE GATOR HOPE INITIATIVE WILL BUILD CAPACITY TO SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO PRESENT TO THE COUNSELING CENTER AND CONNECT STUDENTS TO APPROPRIATE RESOURCES. THE GATOR HOPE INITIATIVE WILL PROVIDE LAYERED INTERVENTIONS AND DATA COLLECTION. THE FIRST LAYER IS TO PROVIDE INCREASED TRAINING FOR FACULTY, STAFF, AND STUDENTS IN IDENTIFYING AND REFERRING STUDENTS IN NEED OF MENTAL HEALTH OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND SUPPORT. THE SECOND LEVEL IS TO ENRICH THE NDMU COUNSELING CENTER SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS BY INCORPORATING TRAINING IN EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES IN THE TREATMENT OF AT-RISK STUDENTS, TO INCREASE THE ABILITY TO DELIVER TREATMENT AND DESTIGMATIZING OUTREACH TO STUDENTS, AND TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO CAN BE TREATED IN THE COUNSELING CENTER AND SUPPORTED BY THE UNIVERSITY. THE GATOR HOPE INITIATIVE WILL FUND INCREASED TRAINING FOR FACULTY AND STAFF IN IDENTIFICATION AND REFERRAL TO TREATMENT SUPPORTS FOR STUDENTS PRESENTING WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION, AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUES USING THE I CAN HELP PROGRAM. THE COUNSELING CENTER STAFF WILL IMPLEMENT USE OF THE CAMS-CARE SUICIDE RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION TRAINING FRAMEWORK WHEN WORKING WITH STUDENTS WHO HAVE SUICIDAL IDEATION. NDMU’S NASCENT PEER EDUCATION PROGRAM WILL BE ENHANCED WITH CERTIFICATION FOR PEER EDUCATORS THROUGH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STUDENT PERSONNEL ADMINISTRATORS (NASPA) AND THROUGH TRAINING FOR PEER EDUCATORS IN THE I CAN HELP PROGRAM, L ALLOWING PEER EDUCATORS TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO REFER AND RESPOND TO FELLOW STUDENTS’ NEEDS. THE GATOR HOPE INITIATIVE WILL ALSO INCREASE ACCESS TO SUPPORT AND CARE SERVICES FOR STUDENTS. THE NUMBER OF DOCTORAL PSYCHOLOGY EXTERN COUNSELORS IN TRAINING AT THE COUNSELING CENTER WILL INCREASE BY 50%. FURTHER, THE COUNSELING CENTER WILL OFFER VIRTUAL COUNSELING VIA BETTERMYND. THIS WILL ALLOW PROVIDE SERVICES FOR VIRTUAL STUDENTS, CRITICAL WITH THE ADDITION OF THE APPROXIMATELY 700 GRADUATE STUDENTS JOINING NOTRE DAME THROUGH THE ACQUISITION OF THE MARYLAND UNIVERSITY OF INTEGRATED HEALTH. BETTERMYND WILL PROVIDE A 24/7 EMERGENCY SUPPORT LINE AND WELL-BEING WORKSHOPS FOR THE STUDENT BODY.
