Assistantships
The department has graduate research assistantships available for a limited number of qualified students. These assistantships, both internally funded by Graduate Programs (Interdisciplinary Biomedical Systems (IBS) Fellowships, and The Reproductive Sciences Enhancement Fellowships), and externally via the NIH training grant - Initiative for Maximizing Student Diversity (IMSD), are competitively awarded to new applicants. All doctoral students accepted into the program are considered for financial assistance and no application forms are necessary for this purpose. Students on assistantships are advised to elect no more than twelve credits in a given semester. All students, whether or not they hold a fellowship or an assistantship, are required to assist the graduate faculty in research and teaching activities as a component of their educational experience
