NIGMS Fellowship Award
I was awarded the NIH-NIGMS Fellowship Award by RPI! This will cover my funding for two years.
The Biomolecular Science and Engineering Training Program at Rensselaer welcomes all applicants without discrimination. The program has a long-standing commitment to increasing the number of biomedical researchers from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic populations. Our commitment to diversifying the biomedical workforce also includes LGBT populations, socio-economically disadvantaged populations, and individuals with disabilities.
The fellowship covers full tuition and provides a stipend annually for two years for training related expenses (this does not include expenses related to research projects).
