Who We Are |
Welcome to Summer GRaPEs: the UCR-VSU summer Graduate Research and Preparation Experiences 2022
|
We are a diverse group of scientists passionate about breaking down barriers in STEM. |
Summer GRaPEs is a one-year project sponsored by the University of California Office of the President (UCOP) HBCU initiative, designed to improve diversity and strengthen our graduate programs by investing in undergraduates early. This program begins at Virginia State University with co-PIs Drs. Sarah M. Witiak, Andrea Beyer, and Brian Sayre. During Fall 2021, we will admit up to four students dedicated to learning more about native grapes and their interactions with abiotic and biotic stresses. Then during Summer 2022, these students will join one of several participating labs (Franklin, Larios, Litt, Nagel, Nabity) to partner with current graduate students, postdoctoral scientists, and lead PIs as they learn new skills. During the following fall, the students will hone their projects and data as they prepare to present at the conference in Washington DC.
