Research Opportunities
Training grants
Graduate student opportunities are expanded at the University of Minnesota through funding from NIH and NSF training grants, which are awarded to faculty and graduate programs.
These grants are highly competitive and must be renewed via competitive reviews every five years. Renewal depends on demonstrating successful training of the predoctoral students receiving support, so the grants represent the commitment of the graduate faculty to the retention, graduation and career success of our students.
Here's a comprehensive list of currently funded training grants in biomedical sciences. Grants without a link do not have a website:
