Overview | Requirements | Training Faculty | How to Apply Cellular
and Molecular Basis of Systems How to Apply Appointment of new students to the Training Grant will be made by the Operating Committee, based on a procedure in which the student and the mentor each submit a letter. Student letters should describe their research interests and indicate how they relate to the goals of this training program, the mentor and co-mentor they plan to work with, and their willingness to meet the requirements of the training grant, i.e., courses, participation in annual poster day, student lunches with seminar speakers. The mentor's letter should indicate why the student is appropriate for the Training Grant, agreement to having the student meet the requirements of the program, and agreement to provide financial support to the student after Training Grant funding is finished. Normally students are considered after their first year, and Training Grant support is for the second and third year of graduate study. However, support in other years and for differing periods can be considered. Decisions will be made on the basis of the student's goals and how they match with the training program's goals: to prepare students to use cellular and molecular techniques to answer questions in systems and integrative biology. Consideration of nominations normally takes place in Spring and a call for nominations will be sent out to the training faculty each year. Training slots can begin July 1st or September 1st, but open slots can be filled at any time. If you need
