ND-PREP: Prep

ND-PREP is a federally-funded program to prepare recent college graduates from disadvantaged or historically underrepresented groups who desire to pursue a Ph.D. degree in biomedical science and need more research experience to be accepted into competitive PhD programs. 

Fellows will participate in a three-part formal training program that emphasizes direct research experience, including: 

• An intensive hands-on position working as a research associate in a biomedical lab;
• Skills-development workshops and enrichment activities that will also serve to build a strong cohort;
• Participation in a unique community engagement activity focused on lead abatement in the local communities.
