T32 Comparative Biomedical Research Training Program
Overview
The mission of the CBRT is to provide trainees with expertise that prepares them to adapt to emerging technologies to solve biomedical and health-related problems. The group of research mentors includes more than 30 participating faculty across the Texas A&M Colleges of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS), Medicine, Public Health, Agriculture & Life Sciences (COALS), and Arts & Sciences (CAS). Thus, prospective CBRT trainees have a broad range of research options.
Benefits
Selected CBRT trainees will be paid at National Institutes of Health (NIH) approved trainee salaries for post-doctoral fellows commensurate with years of experience. The program also covers tuition, fees, and health insurance (including family members) and provides funds to cover travel to national and international professional meetings.
