Applications are currently being accepted for Oregon State University's 2012-2012 IGERT in Aging Sciences program. This IGERT program (Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship) is funded by the National Science Foundation and will be attractive to many students applying to participating OSU graduate programs, including Human Development & Family Sciences, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Nutrition, Exercise & Sport Science, Chemistry, Biochemistry & Biophysics, Design & Human Environment, Public Health, Zoology and Construction & Civil Engineering. Oregon State's IGERT in Aging Sciences will provide trainees a stipend of $30,000 per year for two years of their doctoral program, along with support for tuition remission and research costs. Doctoral departments will determine funding levels for remaining years in the program.
Applications are currently being accepted. Students are encouraged to apply to participating graduate departments and indicate their interest in the IGERT program on their applications. We would also appreciate it if graduate advisors would screen for potential IGERT applicants. Five new students will be accepted as 2012-2013 IGERT trainees.
