Predoctoral training

DNA2 will provide support to four doctoral students annually; graduate students in the Behavioral Neuroscience or Clinical Psychology PhD programs in the Department of Psychology, or in the College of Community and Public Affairs doctoral program are eligible for support. Each student must be working under the supervision of a Mentor-Eligible faculty member and should be conducting research that addresses the central themes of the training program. Trainees benefit from the rich curriculum offered by the University, as well as from a set of complementary programs designed and offered by DNA2 program faculty to aid in the honing of scientific writing skills and to facilitate in-depth exposure to issues in the responsible conduct of research and professional/career development.

Support from this T32 program includes an annual stipend, tuition remission, health care insurance coverage and support to attend scientific conferences and an international workshop/short course.
