This federal Project Grant award, valued at $426,360.00, was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training (CFDA 93.859) program. The grant will fund the Yale Predoctoral Pharmacology Training Program (PPTP), which aims to train an outstanding and diverse group of graduate students in the pharmacological sciences for research careers in academia, the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industries, or government. The PPTP will provide an innovative and interdisciplinary curriculum that integrates fundamental pharmacological principles with related areas of modern biological science, including signal transduction, metabolism, neuroscience, and structural biology. The program will offer classroom activities in core topics, a newly developed course in drug discovery and development, and hands-on experience in high-throughput screening, proteomics, and functional genomics. The grant will support a group of 47 world-class faculty mentors who will train students in rigorous, reproducible, and ethical laboratory-based research. The program will also promote a cohesive and inclusive community through various student activities and a comprehensive assessment of trainee development and outcomes. The award will support 8 training positions, appointing 4 second-year and 4 third-year students per year over the 5-year project period from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030.
