About the Program
The UF-Howard Hughes G.A.T.O.R. Program for Biomedical Science brings together graduate, undergraduate, and high school students who work together in research teams under the guidance of faculty advisors.
As team leaders, graduate students gain experience in mentoring and project management, skills that will enhance their success as professional scientists and teachers.
As team members, undergraduate and high school students learn about the process of scientific research and scholarship. By doing discovery science, they gain important lab skills along with knowledge of research design and presentation.
In addition, the G.A.T.O.R. Program is designed to help students develop a personal network of mentors and colleagues who can help them develop their scientific careers.
