| National Cancer Institute: Cancer Biology Training Grant Program |
Director: Yoji Shimizu, Ph.D. |
The Cancer Biology Training Grant provides financial support and a specialized program of training that will allow students and fellows to establish themselves as independent investigators who will pursue research into the etiology and treatment of cancer. Research opportunities in the laboratories of 30 preceptors at the Masonic Cancer Center cover the broad areas of cell metastasis/angiogenesis, immunology and cancer, cancer genetics/etiology, and cancer therapy. Research is conducted in state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, including the Cancer Center Research Building (CCRB) and the Basic Sciences and Biomedical Engineering Building (BSBE). Trainees also have access to the numerous core facilities provided by the Masonic Cancer Center. The Cancer Biology Research Club meets twice a month so that trainees can obtain advice and feedback on their research, learn more about the research ongoing in other laboratories, and to gain experience with presentations. All trainees supported by the Cancer Biology Training Grant must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Translational Research in Neurobiology of Disease Training Grant Program |
Director: Walter Low, Ph.D |
The Translational Research in Neurobiology of Disease Training Program is now soliciting applications for predoctoral, postdoctoral, and resident fellowships. This NIH funded training program is for research to be conducted at the University of Minnesota. Funding for these fellowships will begin in the fall of 2006. The purpose of this program is to train predoctoral fellows, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical residents in translational neuroscience. The uniqueness of this program is bringing all three groups together in a working environment that will facilitate the exchange of basic and clinical neuroscience information that focuses on disease oriented research and potential therapies.
For predoctoral, postdoctoral, and resident applicants please submit (a) the name of the faculty sponsor, (b) statement of proposed research, (c) supporting letter from faculty sponsor, and (d) curriculum vitae. As part of the curriculum vitae please include undergraduate and graduate GPA, GRE scores, and MCAT scores if appropriate. Funding period:2006-2011. Email Dr. Low (lowwalt@umn.edu). |
