Qualifying ExamAll students will take single qualifying exam for their admission to candidacy. The format is relatively simple, with each student first writing a thesis proposal in the format of an NIH grant proposal as part of the required grant writing class (MGE 707). Each student will then defend this proposal to their graduate committee. The qualifying exam will take place at the end of the second year of graduate education. We encourage our students to then submit their grant proposals to NIH or a specific scientific foundation in order to obtain a pre-doctoral fellowship. |
