About us
All students pursuing PhDs in biomedical sciences are invited to participate in our IMSD program! Students are eligible for IMSD funding if they are citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. and members of groups historically underrepresented in the biomedical sciences. Thus, individuals with disabilities, from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups (Native Americans/Alaska Natives, Hispanic Americans, Hawaiian Natives/U.S. Pacific Islanders, and African Americans), and/or from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds are invited and encouraged to participate in our IMSD program.
Competitive Diversity Fellowships are available to first-year underrepresented students accepted into the BBSP. These collaborative awards between IMSD, T32 training programs, and the UNC School of Medicine provide 1-2 years of salary support and a travel award to attend a scientific conference and present scientific findings.
