Fellowships and Training Grants
NIH and CBB fellowships are administered by the Center. These
fellowships provide research training focusing on the applications
of biological and physical sciences to biotechnology-related research.
Faculties from the physical and biological sciences offer a curriculum
bridging the interdisciplinary gap, essential for biotechnology
training programs. For example, cooperative involvement of faculty
members from several departments as research mentors provides a
superior research training experience. Click here to access an application for the fellowships.
Awards:
CBB fellowships and NIH traineeships may be awarded for a maximum
of three years to any duly enrolled graduate student working in
the laboratory of a CBB faculty member. Awards are made on an annual
basis and members of the CBB Executive Committee solicit new applications
and renewal applications each spring for competitive evaluation.
Requirements:
The CBB fellowship program is truly interdisciplinary. All fellows
earn a Ph.D. degree with a dissertation based on research conducted
in the laboratory of participating faculty members. They complete
all departmental requirements for the Ph.D. degree. Requirements
and core area courses for the fellowship program are outlined below.
| 1. |
Admission to the Ph.D. program in participating departments. |
|
| 2. |
Attendance and participation in the Biocatalysis Seminar
Program. |
|
| 3. |
Course, “Perspectives in Bioprocessing ” and annual
research presentation in based on this course. |
|
| 4. |
Nomination by a faculty member |
|
| 5. |
Internship in research laboratories of industries involved
in biotechnology. |
|
| 6. |
Attend and participate in mini-symposia, which are one- day
industry/academic conferences held at The University of Iowa |
|
| 7. |
Present one or more posters at the annual Biocatalysis and
Bioprocessing Conference. |
|
| 8. |
Courses required by the student’s “home” department,
and a minimum of 2-3 s.h. of coursework in each of the three
core areas in biotechnology. |
|
| 9. |

CBB
CBB Fellowships are available to selected graduate students for
a maximum of three years. Fellowships are awarded after review
of
the CBB Executive Committee. Coursework and internship requirements
are the same as those for NIH trainees.
NIH
The NIH training program attracts high-quality
students who, after review by the CBB Executive Committee, may
receive the fellowship
for a maximum of three years. Students participate in a course, “Perspectives in Biocatalysis” during each fall and spring
semester. In the spring students present their research at the all day Perspectives Symposium. In the fall they present posters at the annual CBB conference.
In addition, students present posters at the annual CBB conference
where four students are selected by the Conference Committee to
make podium presentations. NIH trainees are required to pursue 1
– 3 month long internships in industry, federal laboratories,
or in suitable academic laboratories.
