Biotechnology Pre-doctoral Training Program Participation
Nominations for the BLP are accepted for Caltech graduate students who are in their first, second or third year of graduate work, in any Caltech graduate option.
International students, underrepresented minority students, women, students with disabilities, mentor-supported students, and students who have fellowships are strongly encouraged to apply.
Funding
Select students may receive partial tuition and stipend support from the program, initially for 12 months with the option to extend to a total of 24 months, dependent upon satisfactory progress and availability of funds.
To be eligible for funding, trainees must be enrolled full-time at Caltech and agree to do an internship.
Commitments and Expectations
If formally appointed to the BLP, the student and mentor must commit to fully participating in the program. This includes completion of required courses and a mandatory industry internship.
Students and their mentors are expected to actively participate in the BLP during their appointment, and continue to participate in select activities after graduation from the program.
The BLP will periodically host seminars and events that may be attended by any member of the Caltech community.
