The National Science Foundation Division of Biological Infrastructure awarded the University of Georgia Research Foundation, Inc. $464,914 on October 1, 2026, to support a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site in Genomics and Computational Biology through the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074). The award funds a 10-week summer training program for 30 undergraduate students per year during summers 2027–2029. Students from universities with limited research opportunities are recruited to gain foundational experience in genomics approaches, computational workflows, data science skills, and biotechnology. Training emphasizes career pathways in academic and industry research aligned with NSF priorities in artificial intelligence and biotechnology, with scientific focus areas including genomics, computational biology, systems biology, metabolomics, proteomics, and glycomics. Faculty mentors drawn from genetics, biochemistry and molecular biology, bioinformatics, computer science, physics and astronomy, plant biology, plant pathology, marine sciences, and related departments provide mentorship across research projects. Students present findings at a final symposium on the UGA campus and potentially at additional scientific conferences. The UGA Center for Teaching and Learning conducts program assessment. This REU Site has operated for 22 years and trained over 200 prior participants who contributed to research on telomerase, gene regulation, circadian biology, and marine biotoxins. Period of performance runs through September 30, 2029, with work performed in Athens, Georgia.
