Carpenter has been awarded numerous honors, fellowships, and research grants. She was named a “Rising young investigator” by Genome Technology magazine in 2007 and a BioVision World Leader delegate in 2003. She also belongs to a number of professional societies including the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Association for Women in Science.

Said Carpenter, “The Bold Visions program should be inspirational to girls and young women interested in science, giving them a taste of the fun and satisfaction that comes from research.”
