Applications are now open for PREP@UGA, our NIH-funded post-baccalaureate research education program, which aims to support students from under-served and under-represented backgrounds in gaining additional research experience and transitioning to and succeeding in life science doctoral programs. The research focuses of our program include infectious diseases, virology, immunology, and vaccine development as well as biochemistry, especially the role of carbohydrates in infections and immunity.
Review of applications will begin March 1, 2019. Applicants will need a PDF of their transcript and three references from recommenders, academic or professional, in order for their application to be considered. Recommenders will receive an online form to complete their references and will be asked to upload their recommendation letter on formal letterhead. All three references MUST be submitted by the March 1, 2019 deadline for an applicant to be fully considered.
Notifications will be made by the end of March 2019 or as soon as possible thereafter. The program will start August 1, 2019.
