About Us
The Outreach Department at the Genome Sequencing Center was established in 2003, in response to the National Human Genome Research Institute's (NHGRI) Minority Action Plan (MAP). The goal of the Outreach Department is to:
- Prepare undergraduates for careers in genome sciences through research opportunities that are focused on graduate studies as the next career level.
- Establish mutually beneficial partnerships with minority-serving institutions, which will build a pipeline of students and faculty for our research programs.
- Provide faculty at minority-serving institutions with research opportunities that will enhance their curriculum.
- Facilitate public interaction with the GSC in order to educate the public, stimulate interest in genome sciences and genomic medicine, and to measure the impact of these interactions.
