The Fort Valley State University (FVSU) HBCU-UP Targeted Infusion Project will incorporate plant genomics into the undergraduate curriculum of the Plant Science, and Biology departments. Genomics is a rapidly advancing interdisciplinary science. This project will implement new inquiry-based investigations to allow students to further understand scientific method. To accomplish this objective a Plant Genomics senior level course will be developed and newly designed genomics modules will be incorporated into several existing courses such as: Genetic Engineering, Plant Biotechnology, Plant Breeding, Techniques in Molecular Biology, Botany, Microbiology, Research Methods, and Special Projects. The acquisition of a sequencer will provide students hands on experience with genomics research and facilitate on-going research efforts of faculty and students at FVSU. Students enrolled in these courses will be better prepared for various careers in the biological sciences, particularly in the burgeoning fields of genomics and bioinformatics. The teaching materials developed at FVSU will be disseminated through a course website, conference presentations, and workshops for juniors and faculty members. The project will provide new educational tools for universities and colleges nationwide in order to help them meet the need for individuals knowledgeable in genomics.

堡谷州立大学（FVSU）HBCU-UP靶向输注项目将植物基因组学纳入植物科学和生物学系的本科课程。基因组学是一门快速发展的交叉学科。 该项目将实施新的基于探究的调查，让学生进一步了解科学方法。为了实现这一目标，将开发植物基因组学高级课程，并将新设计的基因组学模块纳入现有的几门课程，如：遗传工程，植物生物技术，植物育种，分子生物学技术，植物学，微生物学，研究方法和特殊项目。测序仪的收购将为学生提供基因组学研究的实践经验，并促进教师和学生在FVSU正在进行的研究工作。 参加这些课程的学生将为生物科学的各种职业做好更好的准备，特别是在基因组学和生物信息学的新兴领域。在FVSU开发的教材将通过课程网站，会议演示文稿和大三学生和教职员工的研讨会传播。该项目将为全国的大学和学院提供新的教育工具，以帮助他们满足对基因组学知识的个人的需求。
