Center for Integrated BioSystems
Research Students
(CIBR Students)
The Center for Integrated BioSystems is tasked to build biotechnology capacity at USU. One method we are using is to provide fellowships for students engaged in biotechnology research. Currently, we have two separate programs in this initiative.
- The CIBR Student program is designed to offer additional financial support to graduate students who are conducting biotechnology research as part of their M.S. or Ph.D. program.
- We are also proud to offer a new scholarship for undergraduate students. The uCIBR Students Program is for students who are conducting biotechnology research as they pursue their undergraduate degrees.
Both programs are structured to support research students:
a) who are outstanding scholars;
b) who show unusual promise in research; or
c) with unique funding needs.
Applicants may request $5,000 to 7,000 to offset the cost of research associated with their programs. Due to the unique nature of each program, the guidelines for applications and how funds may be spent vary slightly between the programs.
Currently, we are seeking applications for the uCIBR Student Program. Applications are due April 18, 2008 by 5:00 p.m. Details on how to apply can be found on the uCIBR Student page.
Please keep checking back for updates and future funding opportunities in the CIBR Student Program. If you have any questions about these programs, please contact the CIB Grants Specialist.
