Program Features

The Genetics & Genomics Academy (GGA) and the Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Center have collaborated to create the NIH T32-funded NC State Genetics and Genomics Training Program (GGTP). The GGTP will provide PhD students with fundamental, cross-disciplinary knowledge in genetics and genomics and social sciences to address the ethics and societal impacts of genetic engineering and genomics. The GGTP integrates technical training with courses and activities led by social scientists to prepare our T32 trainees to design their research and disseminate their knowledge effectively and appropriately for the benefit of society.

The GGTP is an NIH T32 program, supporting a cohort of 4 new students each year. GGTP-funded trainees will receive a $34,000 stipend along with full tuition and benefits.
