Official Announcement:

Program dates: June 6 – July 29, 2022
 The 2022 Explore BiGG Data REEU is hosted at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and will be accepting applications starting December 1, 2021. The goal of the Explore BiGG Data REEU<https://reeu.tennessee.edu/> is to holistically prepare talented, diverse women and women-aligned people for graduate programs and careers in bioinformatics, genetics and genomic sciences. Because demand for bioinformatics capabilities throughout the food, agricultural, and natural resource sectors greatly outweighs current supply, there is a critical need for a diverse, talented workforce well trained in Bioinformatics, Genetics, and Genomic Sciences (BiGGS). This program, a powerful training combination of bioinformatics with genetics and genomic data training, will provide opportunities to develop critical thinking, problem solving, and digital competency skills. Furthermore 21st Century skills training will provide Explore BiGG Data Fellows with the communication/leadership skills needed for future employment and/or higher education. Applications will be accepted until February 15 or until all spots are filled.
 Interviews will start on January 15, 2022 and awardees will be notified by March 15, 2022.
Please visit the Explore BiGG Data REEU <https://reeu.tennessee.edu/> website for more information. Please contact program director Dr. Kimberly Gwinn via email (kgwinn at utk.edu<mailto:kgwinn at utk.edu>) with any questions.


Thanks!
Becky
