Colleagues -

 

The University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences has obtained
funding for a 1-year post-baccalaureate experience for URM students who are
interested in biomedical graduate training.  UPIRTA (University of
Pittsburgh Intramural Research Training Award) includes 2 research pathways:
autism and antibiotic resistant infectious disease.  All students are
eligible to apply, however, as funding comes from the State of Pennsylvania,
preference in admission is given to:

 

*        students from Lincoln and Cheyney universities (PA's two HBCUs)

*        the University of Pittsburgh, and

*        Pittsburgh-area and Pennsylvania natives

 

If you have URM students who are preparing for graduate school, and can
benefit from a rich, mentored, funded research experience prior to
application, please pass this link along:

Please let me know if you or your students have questions.

 

Thank you,

Paula Davis
