The eligibility requirements for trainees are:
(1) U.S. citizen or permanent resident (green card holder)
(2) registered Ph.D. student in good academic standing at the CUNY Graduate Center (GC) or CCNY Grove School of Engineering (GSOE) or CCNY Clinical Psychology Program
(3) Ph.D. mentor and laboratory located on the CCNY campus
(4) dissertation project in the biomedical sciences, which can be pursued in Ph.D. programs including Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, or Engineering
(5) early training stage at the start of the G-RISE appointment, typically Year 2 for GC-registered bench science students and Years 1 or 1.5 for GSOE students. This NIH requirement ensures a common scope of professional development activities for each trainee cohort.
We encourage applications from students who come from underrepresented populations based on ethnic, racial, economic, disabled, or educational status, but those characteristics are not eligibility requirements for the G-RISE program; we welcome all applicants who satisfy the citizenship, residence, and research criteria stated above.
