The Don Comb Research Co-op Fund

Established in his memory, the Don Comb Research Co-op Fund at the Ocean Genome Legacy (OGL) Center provides undergraduate students with real-world research experience, from forming research questions and designing experiments, to conducting lab work, analyzing data, and presenting results. The OGL program gives students an extraordinary and highly challenging educational experience, including the opportunity to contribute as a co-author to peer-reviewed scientific publications, an achievement few undergraduates can claim. It is a fitting tribute to Don Comb, a man with a passion for science and the sea, and a commitment to inspiring young scientists to help create a better world. We would like to thank Eileen and Robert Matz for their initial gift of $50,000 to establish this fund in Don’s memory. Please join them in helping to keep his commitment alive by making a gift today.
