Student Training Grants - Rolling Submission
Attention students - Training Grant policies have changed, effective January 1, 2010. For a detailed description of the changes and tips for getting your proposals funded, please read the application. Change highlights include:
- Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis (not just 3 times annually)
- Students are eligible (but not guaranteed) to earn one training grant per calendar year
- Students are expected to secure matching funds, where appropriate
The ICE IGERT program encourages members to apply for Student Training Grants, which support cellular engineering training and outreach initiatives that may not otherwise be funded. Students have used these awards to present their research at conferences, procure laboratory manuals, attend professional workshops, and receive on-site training in the laboratories of collaborators and field experts.
Upcoming Career Fairs
A Campus Wide Career Fair is scheduled for Wednesday, February 10th from 10 AM - 3 PM in the Campus Center Auditorium. A concurrent Life Sciences Career Fair will take place on the campus center lower level. For more information, visit UMass Career Services.
A Campus Wide Summer Co-op and Internship Fair is scheduled for Thursday, February 11th from 10 AM - 3 PM in the Campus Center. For more information, visit UMass Career Services.
