TRAINEESHIPS

CBI Training faculty can nominate CBI Program Members for a CBI Traineeship. US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for NIH-funded Traineeships; additional UMass-funded Traineeships are also available. Trainee selection criteria include past performance (undergraduate institution and GPA, GRE scores), progress in the PhD program (grades and research productivity), and committment to the CBI Program. Due to the limited number of available traineeships, selection is highly competitive.

We are very proud of our select group of CBI Trainees! In addition, benefits of being an NIH-funded Trainee include funds for travel, books and a number of student fees.

Trainee nominations are due annually on May 1, for Traineeships that typically begin July 1. Students interested in becoming a Trainee should join the CBI Program as soon as possible and start following the curriculum. Current CBI Program Members should be sure to submit their annual “CBI status report” (pdf file) by May 1 every year.
