Genome Sciences Education Outreach has received funding from a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) to support our new project Genes, the Environment, and Me: Health and STEM Network (GEMNet). This project will build on our successful GEM program to develop a cross-disciplinary approach for teaching and learning about type 2 diabetes in high school biology, health, and family and consumer sciences classes. GEMNet and GEM have been supported by a Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), part of the National Institutes of Health.
