The Vermont Genetics Network (VGN) is funded by a three year award from the National Center for Research Resources, and is part of the NIH initiative called Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (BRIN). VGN is a collaboration among the University of Vermont, and five baccalaureate colleges throughout the state of Vermont to build critical mass and infrastructure in the broad area of genetics; to increase competitiveness of the new genetics faculty at UVM and the baccalaureate schools; to increase the number of undergraduates, who go on to biomedical careers from the baccalaureate colleges; to create a human network, support it through electronic communications, and make it sustainable; to provide a new bioinformatics capability in the state; and to increase the diversity of biomedical scientists.

The Bioinformatics Core of the University of Vermont provides bioinformatics resources for research and education.
