To foster collaborative learning opportunities for the advancement of Native students in the ethical, social and legal implications of genetics and society. The primary goal for the Genomics and Ethics Program for Native Students program is to build sustainable, supportive learning environments and professional networks for Native students to pursue training and research opportunities that are grounded in Indigenous experiences.
Every activity offered as part of the GEN program is a collaborative effort between the Center for the Ethics of Indigenous Genomic Research personnel and an amazing network of Indigenous professionals, Native-serving programs, tribal stakeholders and other community partners committed to fostering the next generation of Native researchers leading the field of genomics.
