The NIH T32 Program requires that the individual to be sponsored must be a citizen or a noncitizen national of the United States or have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time of hire.


The successful applicant will be able to choose the best fit in terms of mentor and lab project from the available T32 mentors within our program. Alternatively, applicants may seek a different mentor provided that a T32 mentor agrees to co-mentor the post-doctoral trainee. The program supports trainees for two years.
