Q: “In one sentence, what makes the GEP different?” R: “What makes the GEP different is the community of scholars who are passionate about teaching, who support each other in developing curriculum and providing research opportunities for students at a wide array of institutions.” ~Norma Velazquez Ulloa. Learn more at thegep.org.

Thanks to our 250+ GEP faculty, undergrads experience real genomics research—not just lectures. Help us keep this national network thriving: secure.givelively.org/donate/genom...

Q: “In one sentence, what did the GEP mean to you?” R: “The GEP meant working with a supportive, caring, and passionate team, eager to help students and share in their love for science and research. The GEP played a very great role in my life, and I wouldn’t have traded any of it for the world!” ~Kiersten Wienclawski. Learn more at thegep.org.

We asked our alumni what the GEP meant to them. Here’s what Kiersten Wienclawski had to say.

Q: “What gap in STEM education does the GEP help you fill?” R: “The GEP has allowed me to bring authentic research experiences to my community college students, who would normally not have a chance to pursue independent projects.” ~Jessica Crowley, PhD. Learn more at thegep.org.

Genomics Education Partnership (GEP) provides Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) in bioinformatics and genomics

The GEP has reached 25,000+ students with research-driven classroom experiences in genomics. We’re giving undergrads the chance to do real science. Learn more: thegep.org

#CUREs #GenomicsEducation #GEPgenomics

Q: “Why do you think programs like the GEP need public support?” R: “Programs like the GEP, that provide opportunities for faculty to incorporate novel genomics research into the classroom, are incredibly important vehicles for giving more students access to research experiences earlier in their college careers." ~Jenni. Learn more at thegep.org.

The GEP has served over 25,000 students throughout its lifetime. Help us provide undergraduate research opportunities for years to come. Learn more at: nonprofit.thegep.org

☀️🔬 Another summer of science is in the books!

From hands-on experiments to real-world #Genomics, Geneskool’s #SummerScience Programs sparked curiosity and inspired the next generation of researchers. 🌱🧬

Here’s to a future full of discovery! 💡✨

#GenomicsEducation

🛑 What if the GEP disappeared?
No more open-access genomics curriculum.
No more free tools, research projects, & training.
No more national community connecting 200+ institutions.

Text graphic reads: “What gap in STEM education does the GEP help you fill? ‘I teach at a California Community College. Participating in GEP research projects allows my students to get a taste of what it’s like to join a research lab. Something we don’t have on campus.’ ~Alexa Sawa. Learn more at thegep.org.”

Map of 200+ GEP institutions in the continental United States and Puerto Rico (U.S.).

What does a national research network look like?
📍 This map shows 209 active GEP institutions across the U.S. and its territories.

That’s 209 campuses where students are learning genomics by doing real research.

#GenomicsEducation #GEPteach #GEPtools

In 2005, a small team of researchers asked:
What if undergrads didn’t just learn genomics, but contributed to real discoveries?

That question launched the Genomics Education Partnership (GEP).
#GenomicsEducation #UndergradResearch #GEPCUREs

Q: “What’s one moment in GEP where you realized you were doing real science?” R: “Probably the first time I did a project as a student and began working on my very own gene, not just a practice gene, and when I learned that my final product of the research project was going to be reviewed and published by the GEP community.” ~Kiersten Wienclawski.
