Programs

In accordance with the MAP, the outreach department has developed an umbrella program, Opportunities in Genomics Research (OGR). All programs within OGR are designed to encourage and promote diversity in genomics and genetics as well as to educate the general public about these fields of study. OGR is structured as follows:

Students

  • Undergraduate
    Opportunities in Genomics Research: Undergraduate Scholars Program
    An 8-week summer program focused on engaging students in research and intensive academic enhancement/graduate school preparation workshops. Click here for a description of the program and here for an application.
  • Post-baccalaureate
    Opportunities in Genomic Research: Extensive Study Program
    A year-long program designed for recent graduates offering the opportunity for research experience and more mentoring prior to entering a graduate program.
  • K-12
    • Opportunities in Genomics Research: Junior Scholars Program An academic year internship program (non-paid) for high school students to acquire research experience. To learn more about the program click here. To download an application click here.
    • Provide talks, tours, and limited scientific workshops. We also provide a full day of workshops in April in commemoration of DNA day, consisting of hands-on demonstrations. Click here to request a talk, tour, or hands on demonstration.

Faculty (coming soon!)

  • A summer program focused on providing training in genomic sciences to faculty at partnering institutions. Our goal is to foster enthusiasm and offer encouragement to faculty with the hope that they impart the same excitement to their students.

Community Organizations

  • Educate the public about genome sciences by providing tours, presentations. To request a talk or tour, please click here.
