EDGE Genomics is aimed at freshman and sophomore undergraduate students. Our goal is to ensure the nation remains a leader in scientific discovery and innovation by training the most innovative and talented next generation of geneticists.<\/p>\n<p>Our program provides access to genomics careers for qualified scholars that have very limited access to cutting edge research and training opportunities. Over the past 3 years, the EDGE Genomics program has supported 51 undergraduate scholars from 22 different institutions across 5 states (NC, GA, TN, VA, RI). Most scholars (59%) came from community colleges, while the rest of our scholars (41%) were from 4-year universities both within and outside the state of NC. EDGE scholars have early access to training starting at different stages of their academic journeys: 37% started the program as freshmen, 53% started the program as sophomores, and 10% started the program as juniors.<\/p>\n<h3>EDGE Genomics has a unique 2-year program structure.<\/h3>\n<p>Year 1 provides students with an overview of the fields of genetics and genomics: basic research, applications of genomics in patient care, ethical, legal, and social issues, and career pathways. Students receive mentoring from faculty and scientists in training.<\/p>\n<p>The Year 2 research experience places students in cutting-edge research labs at UNC-Chapel Hill. Students work on an independent research project, attend weekly lab meetings and journal clubs, and present their research at the end of the program. EDGE Genomics students, faculty, and staff have built a vibrant community of peers and mentors that will guide students as they embark on their careers.<\/p>\n<div class = \"alert alert-info  oscitas-bootstrap-container\">The UNC EDGE Genomics program is not accepting new applications for summer 2026.<\/div>\n<h4>Timeline for 2025 program:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>early January 2025: application period opens<\/li>\n<li>Monday January 27, 2025, 4:00-4:45pm: virtual open house event<\/li>\n<li>February 17, 2025: applications due<\/li>\n<li>late March or early April 2025: acceptances announced<\/li>\n<li>July 7-25, 2025: program dates for year 1 students<\/li>\n<li>June 2 &#8211; July 25, 2025: program dates for year 2 students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>EDGE Genomics students receive compensation (stipend amounts $1800 for year 1 students and $4800 for year 2 students).
