Funding Resources

Funding

There are three primary sources of support for trainees.

  1. The division is the recipient of an NIH training grant; positions for fellows are funded through this mechanism. Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents to be eligible.
  2. Individual investigators fund fellows from research grants.
  3. Some fellows are funded through their home institution or obtain funding from other sources.
