Graduate Students (PhD)

Description:
The Graduate Research Training Initiative for Student Enhancement (G-RISE) program stemming from the Meyerhoff Graduate Fellows Program aims to develop a diverse pool of scientists earning a Ph.D., who have the skills to successfully transition into careers in the biomedical research workforce. Training grants supported by the National Institutes of Health offset the cost of stipends, tuition, and training related expenses, including health insurance, for the appointed trainees. Through workshops and events, students are given the tools to help complete their Ph.D. and transition into their career.

The G-RISE Fellowship supports 2 years of funding, and trainees are eligible to submit a proposal with their mentor for a 3rd year of funding, contingent on their training plan. G-RISE Trainees have the opportunity to attend courses and workshops to guide for their career development.

The G-RISE Meyerhoff Program is open to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents from all cultures and backgrounds. The program supports students pursuing Ph.D.s in the biomedical or behavioral sciences who are interested in diversity and underrepresentation in the sciences.

G-RISE cohorts are of 25 fellows total. We have graduated more than 200 PhDs from historically excluded populations since 2001!
