Be a Gene Researcher for a Week

Application Dates: November 1- December 31, 2012

he Foundation selects motivated and ambitious students in grades 11 and 12 who have an innate curiosity for science, human genetics, and human genetics research. These students are placed in labs of influential scientists for one week over Spring Break. This experience gives young students a once in a lifetime opportunity to work alongside premiere research scientists.
Students gain insight into the world of genetic diseases by conducting real, hands-on science experiments, such as profiling their own DNA. Participants also learn how genes cause human genetic disorders and how top scientists translate these findings into treatments and cures for genetic diseases. The GRFAW mentoring program is a great opportunity for young scientists to learn about human genetics research and connect with the scientific community.
