Overview

The Genomic Analysis Training Program is open to any UCLA PhD student who is a US citizen or permanent resident and whose goal is to do research in genomic analysis or interpretation. This program seeks to insure that students interested in this research area obtain an adequate biological, computational and statistical foundation to succeed in this important new, interdisciplinary field.

This NIH-funded training program provides approximately $27,000 toward the graduate student stipend (to be supplemented by other funds to provide each trainee a full UCLA stipend) plus support towards UCLA tuition and fees. (Note that this training program cannot subsidize out-of-state tuition.) This funding is often supplemented by the student's department or mentor.
