View Award Description

GREAT: Collaborative Genomic Initiative between Prairie View A&M and Texas A&M Universities - Project Summary/Abstract This GREAT Program will develop genomics opportunities for students at Prairie View A&M University (PVAMU) through a collaboration with Texas A&M University (TAMU) TAMU is one of the largest Hispanic-serving institutions in the United States with over 4000 students majoring in biomedical or biological sciences, and PVAMU is an HBCU comprised of 86% black students and >50% first generation students. While these institutions are separated by 40 miles, there have historically been few collaborations in the area of biomedical science. This program will develop a Course-based undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) focusing on using genomic and bioinformatic approaches to predict the function of unannotated genes. The CURE will be co- taught by PVAMU and TAMU faculty. Over the summer students will participate in research in a TAMU genomics lab. These research opportunities will be complemented by workshops, networking events, and other training opportunities. Together, the proposed program will foster critical thinking, self-empowerment, and provides students the skills and training necessary to enter PhD programs in genomics, or to enter the workforce in a genomics-related area. Taken together, this program will strengthen genomics programming at PVAMU, develop ties between the two universities, and promote diversity in genomic sciences.
