The SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomics Data Science is one of six Centres for Research Training (CRTs) funded under a €100M Science Foundation Ireland initiative.
The first PhD training initiative of scale with an all-Ireland remit, the Genomics Data Science CRT will train 115 PhD students across the island of Ireland over the coming seven years, with 15 to be based in Northern Ireland and 100 in the Republic of Ireland. The CRT is a partnership between the National University of Ireland Galway, University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, University College Cork and Queen’s University Belfast.

Connecting with industry, state and non-state organizations across all sectors on which genomics can have an impact, is a foundation of the CRT and will provide our students with opportunities to shape the future of genomics in Ireland. We have established links with companies, charities and non-governmental organisations to support the CRT in training; student recruitment; placements, international networks; management and oversight.
