2007 GENA lesson plan: Gene detective By Lisa Schimmenti, Tina Barsky, March 2007.

The GENA project is a 3-year MSP RETA that is designed to explore the effects of MSP participation on STEM faculty and provide a model to the MSP community that can be adapted so that MSP participation can be seen as a valuable contribution to a faculty member's work at their institution. Our model stems from the hypothesis that if a disciplinary society (in this case the American Society of Human Genetics and the Genetics Society of America) supports this type of work, them this provides an additional level of cashe and support for their members to become involved and receive support from their colleagues in the society and at their home institution.

The Principal Investigator of The Geneticist-Educator Network of Alliances (GENA) Project is Michael Dougherty.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration between partners within the GENA project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the library and resources sections as well as the interactive calendar have been made available to the public, only logged in members of the The Geneticist-Educator Network of Alliances (GENA) Project project can post comments, participate or read posts in the Working Groups.
