Rapid Exposure to Advanced Computational Training (REACT)

The Rapid Exposure to Advanced Computational Training (REACT) program is a short-term initiative to support graduate students to receive the latest training in computational tools and techniques in their field. REACT will provide specified funds to cover registration and student tuition to participate in nationally-recognized workshops that provide the latest training in computational approaches. REACT is a joint effort between the Environmental Change Initiative, the Eck Institute for Global Health, the Genomics and Bioinformatics Core Facility, the Harper Cancer Research Institute, and the Center for Research Computing.
