The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded a $170,400 Project Grant under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating through the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR). This 5-year grant, effective August 1, 2025, will support a predoctoral training program in interdisciplinary basic biomedical sciences. Key elements of the program include implementing new interdisciplinary research courses, seminars, and laboratory rotations; requiring specific existing biomedical science courses; establishing a mentoring program; and organizing an annual biomedical sciences symposium. The grant will enroll 5 trainees per year, providing stipends, tuition, and fees for 2 years of predoctoral training, with UNR covering the remaining 40% of costs. The program aims to increase recruitment and admission of trainees, particularly from underrepresented groups, and prepare them for academic or non-academic biomedical careers.
