Welcome to BRIDGES

Building Resources for InterDisciplinary training in Genomic and Ecosystem Sciences (BRIDGES) is an NSF-funded training program to support outstanding, diverse students in pursuing graduate degrees (MS, PhD) in ecosystem genomics. We offer fellowships for students to pursue their research in a program enriched by professional training, internships, a certificate and a minor, and mentorship opportunities.

Why Ecosystem Genomics?

Ecosystem genomics brings together the tools of ecosystem and genomic sciences to understand how processes encoded for in genes scale to the ecosystem scale. By scaling from the gene to ecosystem scale we can understand how wild and agricultural systems function and respond to change.
