The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) was awarded a $462,259 Project Grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The 5-year grant, commencing on July 1, 2024, will support a predoctoral Training Program in Cell, Molecular, and Developmental Biology (CMDB) at UAB.
The CMDB program aims to provide interdisciplinary training in basic cell, molecular, and developmental processes essential for all multicellular organisms. Key components of the training include an evidence-informed didactic curriculum, research mentoring by faculty preceptors, instruction in scientific communication and responsible conduct of research, as well as personalized career guidance and networking opportunities for the trainees. The program will appoint 10 predoctoral trainees in their second year of graduate school, with an additional 11th position supported by matching funds from UAB's School of Medicine.
