Apply Now

Applications (New and Renewal) are due in May each year. We are not accepting new applications in 2024. 

Eligibility


To be eligible, applicants must be advised by one of our Faculty Mentors. You should propose a co-mentor, often a faculty member also on the training grant, but they are not required to be a CBITG trainer. 

Trainees will generally be chosen from the pool of graduate students in participating departments at the end of their first or second year. Under unusual circumstances, new applications from students beyond their second year may be supported by the program.  However, applicants beyond their second year should consult with the PI before applying. Due to NIH rules, applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
