The project leverages the...
- The University of Florida was awarded a $426,360 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to support the University of Florida Genetics Training Program (UF-GTP). The UF-GTP is a partnership between the University of Florida Genetics Institute and the University of Florida College of Medicine Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences, aimed at providing superior training in genetics and...
- This is a Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The $534,450 grant provides funding for the Predoctoral Training Program in Genetics (GEN-TG) at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. The primary goal of the GEN-TG is to recruit, train, and mentor outstanding individuals who will become future leaders in genetic research, effective educators, and mentors....
- The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $376,498 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a 5-year research program from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2030. The research will focus on developing new active genetic systems that can function in both germline and somatic cell contexts. This includes exploring the use of CRISPR-based gene drive systems to potentially...
- The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) awarded a $484,764 Cooperative Agreement to El Paso Community College (EPCC) under the Human Genome Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.172). The award will fund the development and implementation of three curriculum modules on computational genomics and cloud computing to be integrated into 8 biology, anatomy and physiology, and microbiology courses per semester at EPCC. The goal is to expose EPCC's diverse student body, which includes...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), under the Human Genome Research (CFDA 93.172) federal grant program, provides $486,000.00 to the University of Hawaii to support educational activities that encourage and promote diverse and underrepresented students to pursue studies and careers in computational genomics and data science (CGDS) research. The key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Developing and testing undergraduate and...
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $541,629 Project Grant under CFDA 93.859, Biomedical Research and Research Training, to the University of Alabama to enhance the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP). The GEP is a nationwide consortium of 265 faculty at 213 institutions that annually engages over 2,400 undergraduates in genomics training and research through course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs). The grant funding will be used to 1) develop scaffolded training and a mentorship network to support GEP faculty in implementing CUREs, 2) generate new curricula, bioinformatics tools, and workflows that incorporate advances in computational biology and sequencing, and 3) provide training and virtual platforms for students to share their research and assess the impact on student STEM retention. This award aims to further the GEP's commitment to training the future genomics workforce through these comprehensive faculty support and student engagement activities.
