External Funding Sources and Awards Granted to Current MD-PhD Students
Tri-I MD-PhD students have been extremely successful in obtaining external funding for their research. Beyond the awards themselves, the process of applying for external grants is a useful part of students’ professional training and is actively encouraged and supported by the Program faculty.
Currently, over 30 students in the Tri-I MD-PhD Program and at least 50% of each incoming class have an NRSA pre-doctoral training grant (F30) from the:
- National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)
- National Cancer Institute (NCI)
- National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
- National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (MHLBI)
- National Institute of Allergy and Infection Diseases (NIAID)
- National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)
- Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
Additionally, current Tri-I MD-PhD students have been awarded funding from the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, the Department of Defense, and the American Heart Foundation.
