FY25 GGA Funding Opportunities

One of the four commitments of the Genetics and Genomics Academy (GGA) is enhancing interdisciplinary graduate education in genetics and genomics. We recognize that graduate students often face special challenges in finalizing research and proposal writing. These challenges include, but are not limited to, the need for funds to complete experiments and the ending of research assistantships. Students who are working as teaching assistants or working outside the university have limits on the time available to complete dissertations.This year the GGA has funding to help with these situations. We can fund grants up to $15,000 for stipend support, supplies and/or services for the 2025 Spring semester. Any requests for research assistantship must be approved by the student’s department/program.

One of the four commitments of the GGA is enhancing interdisciplinary genetics and genomics (G&G) research. The GGA wants to encourage multi-investigator, interdisciplinary proposals and is setting aside a portion of our FY25 budget to fund Seed Grants focused on interdisciplinary research. All interdisciplinary G&G research areas are eligible for funding, including education and social science research.
