We’re hosting a virtual “office hour” on January 8 for potential applicants to our Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP).

PREP’s goal is to develop a well-trained pool of postbaccalaureates who will transition into and complete rigorous biomedical, research-focused doctoral degree programs (such as Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D.) in biomedical fields relevant to the NIGMS mission.

During the meeting, we’ll provide a brief overview of the PREP funding opportunity and answer your programmatic, budget, and scientific review questions. Those interested in joining the office hour are strongly encouraged to review the 2022 PREP prospective applicant webinar, companion slide deck, and NOT-GM-24-010 for recent budget guidance.
