Meet the 2026-2027 GRAs for E-RISE & E-CORE

The Guam National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (Guam NSF EPSCoR) E-RISE and E-CORE programs welcome five University of Guam graduate students as Graduate Research Assistants (GRA) for the 2026-2027 school year.

The GRA program provides UOG-enrolled graduate students with support for three years in their pursuit of a master’s degree. The E-RISE (Research Incubators for STEM Excellence) project specifically aims to support students interested in marine biology and ecosystem research, while the E-CORE (Optimizing Research Infrastructure on Guam [ORIG]) project aims to develop higher education STEM pathways through collaborations between academic and primary partners.

This GRA cohort includes Robert “Trey” Ward, Sydney Payne, Jade Peairson, Kai Chaco, and Johndeo Bulatao.
