Genomic Graphic

Hsiu-Ping Liu, Ph.D., director of the Center for Advanced STEM Education and professor in the Department of Biology, was awarded $1.7 million from the National Institutes of Health for her project Pathways in Genomics Research Experiences for Undergraduates. The goal of the project is to prepare and support undergraduate students for graduate school and/or a career in genomics research. This includes providing high-quality research experiences, professional-development opportunities and mentorship while building a robust community of research scholars.

    • The total award is $1,707,373, and the University of Colorado Anschutz sub-award is $66,539. Of these funds, $1,325,611 will go to direct student support, including tuition, fees, health insurance, hourly wages, travel to conferences and computer support.

    • This is the third federal grant in excess of $1 million Liu has received for her work in STEM education. Some of her work is a collaboration with the School of Education, the College of Health and Human Sciences and other units across campus.
