Genomics Opportunities
The SACNAS Genome Scholars Program, awarded from 2003-2007, supports a talented group of
underrepresented minority graduate students (enrolled into a graduate
program in genomics or bioinformatics) to take part in genomics opportunities and advance
their careers in genomics, bioinformatics, and closely related fields. Activities have included participation in SACNAS annual
conferences, specialized genomics sessions and networking opportunities, travel to genomics conferences, research presentations, and the 2008 SACNAS MIT Broad
Genome Scholars Technical Training Workshop. In addition, scholars received $25,000 for one year of support for their graduate school expenses.
