Greetings from Indianapolis!
I’m excited to contact you about our NIH funded post-bac program. The Indiana University-Purdue University (IUPUI) Post-Baccalaureate Research Program (IPREP) prepares recent college graduates, who are students from underrepresented minority or disadvantaged populations, for admission to PhD programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. We are so excited for the success of our fellows, and many of them have gone on to prestigious programs at schools such as Univ. of Chicago, Oregon Health & Science Univ., Univ. of Texas Southwestern, Georgia Tech., and our own IUPUI/Indiana University School of Medicine programs. Our website (iprep.iupui.edu) includes videos from past and current fellows describing their experience and how your students may benefit from this program.
Applicants applying to IPREP must be:
1. United States citizens or permanent residents;
2. Graduates of an accredited U.S. college or university who have completed an undergraduate science degree within 36 months of the program start date and cannot be currently enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program;
3. Members of an underrepresented minority group (i.e. African-American, Native American/Alaskan Native, Hispanic, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander), an individual with a disability and/or an individual from a disadvantaged background (https://www.nigms.nih.gov/Training/Diversity/Pages/Approaches.aspx);
4. Interested in applying to a top quality Ph.D. graduate program in Addictions Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Clinical Psychology, Human Performance and Kinesiology, Industrial & Operational Psychology, Medical Neuroscience, Basic Biomedical Sciences (Anatomy and Cell Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Microbiology and Infectious Disease, Musculoskeletal Biology, Pharmacology, and Physiology) and other areas in Biological Behavior Sciences.
Prepare for your Ph.D.: Earn while you learn. IPREP fellows will be provided a competitive salary of $35,568 for a twelve-month, plus health insurance and other program benefits, and travel funds to attend national scientific conferences. Fellows are also eligible to take 1 class per semester based on mentor recommendation.
We are currently accepting applications. The early decision program application is due December 15th, and the regular application cycle closes March 1st. For additional information about IPREP, contact IPREP. On-line application information is available at https://iprep.iupui.edu/applyiprep/howtoapply.html.
