Training in the Curriculum in Genetics and Molecular Biology is generously supported by an National Research Service Award T32 grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences<\/a> (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health. GMB has been continuously funded by NIGMS since 1974.<\/p>\n

The Curriculum in Genetics received a T32 award in 1974 (T32 GM 007092). That award was active continuously for 45 years, during which time it helped more than 300 students earn a PhD.<\/p>\n

In 2018, NIGMS modernized the T32 description, rendering all existing awards ineligible for renewal. GMB wrote a new proposal and received a 5-year award (T32 GM 135128<\/strong>), which was renewed in 2025. The term of the current award is from 2025-2030.<\/p>\n

The T32 award provides support for seven students in year 2, with a 2nd year of funding pending appropriate progress. Our goal is select a cohort of students from diverse backgrounds who will benefit from appointment. In addition to direct support to students, the T32 provides funds to support GMB programmatic elements, such as student-invited seminar speakers. Thus, all students in the program benefit from this award.<\/p>\n

Applications for appointment to the GMB T32 are evaluated in May\/June each year, with appointments typically starting July 1. The GMB Executive Committee scores applications using the following rubric<\/a>. If a trainee from an Executive Committee member’s lab is applying, a non-conflicted GMB faculty member will score applications instead.<\/p>\n

Students currently supported are:<\/p>\n
