The Training Program in the Center for Plasticity & Organ Design (CPOD) provides training/funding for a total minimum of 8 training slots per year. The fellowships offered are:
- 5 Predoctoral
- 2 Postdoctoral
- 1 Co-sponsored Non-Traditional Postdoctoral
Advances in CPOD will demand fluent interdisciplinary cross-talk among basic, applied and clinical scientists. As we look to a future in which the importance of interdisciplinary work in the biomedical sciences is increasingly stressed, it is important to identify strategies to help the next generation of scientists to successfully navigate an increasingly complex research landscape.
The Training Program in Organogenesis was therefore initiated with two major objectives:
- To provide intellectual and technical training in the field of organogenesis.
- To promote interdisciplinary thinking by exposing trainees to research that crosses boundaries between the clinical, basic and applied sciences.
The Training Program operates within the context of the richly interactive environment provided by the Center for Cell Plasticity and Organ Design. The activities of the Center are designed to foster the training program and promote the intersection and involvement of trainees with all aspects of Center functions.
The Training Program in Organogenesis is a University-wide predoctoral and postdoctoral training program that offers a range of fellowships to training grant-eligible students. The Training Program in Organogenesis offers federally funded Pre and Postdoctoral fellowships, Non-Traditional Postdoctoral fellowships co-sponsored by the Medical School and Dental School.
