Student Application Information
We encourage all first year graduate students interested in biotechnology/biomedical research to apply. Graduate students who have joined the lab of a P2P-TEAM faculty mentor are eligible to apply.
The application requires submission of an application form, all documents used for the graduate program application (personal statement, letters, undergraduate transcripts, and electronic application) plus a CV and a one-page essay describing the applicant’s interest in the program.
Nominations are reviewed and ranked on a competitive basis by the P2P-TEAM Executive Committee. BTP traineeships provide up to two years of tuition and stipend support, starting in the spring semester of the first year of graduate studies. Applications are due in November each year.
