The Jackson Laboratory received a $465,000 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site Renewal award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Biological Infrastructure under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), effective May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2029. This award supports the training and mentorship of 30 undergraduate students (10 per summer) from institutions across the United States who will conduct hypothesis-driven research in genetics and functional genomics under the guidance of active research mentors. The program delivers comprehensive educational services including computational and data analysis skills development, online certificate programs through Jackson Laboratory-developed minicourses, in-person coding workshops, journal clubs, professional development seminars, and workshops addressing ethical, legal, and social issues in genetics research. The REU Site integrates participating students into Jackson Laboratory's Summer Student Program, a living-learning community that provides structured support for research activities and career development. The curriculum emphasizes alignment with National Science Foundation priorities in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, offering student research project opportunities in computational genetics, evolutionary biology, protein glycosylation, computer vision applications to tissue-organ relationships, and complex genetic systems. Program assessment utilizes standardized survey instruments, and students are tracked post-program to evaluate career outcomes. Students may present research findings at scientific conferences, and the initiative supports workforce development in high-demand fields by preparing the next generation of scientists in genomics and computational biology.Federal Grant Award Summary
