Training Program for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences
The Training Program for Quantitative Biomedical Sciences in Cancer at Dartmouth is supported by the Cancer Education and Career Development program of the National Cancer Institute. Trainees with doctorates in diverse biomedical sciences will choose a secondary focus area among the three core disciplines and participate in a combination of structured, group learning activities, and individually designed mentored research opportunities. Stipends, course tuition, and certificates of training are provided.
Candidates are appointed for at least 2 years and can be supported for up to 3 years.
