Financial Support
All students studying for a Ph.D. in Basic Sciences receive a nationally competitive research assistantship of $35,000 per year throughout the course of their Ph.D. studies.

The Division of Basic Science provides this support during the first year of graduate school. This allows students to choose freely among the graduate programs and their participating faculty mentors. In subsequent years, students receive a research

assistantship paid from research grants awarded to their dissertation mentors or from one of the institutional NIH training grants associated with various areas of research training. Students are also encouraged to apply for external fellowship opportunities.
