PhD trainees from the Bioinformatics Graduate Program benefit from funding opportunities through various resources:
- The lab they become affiliated with.
- The Proteogenomics of Cancer Training Program (PCTP), supported by an NIH T32 training grant
- The Biomedical Informatics & Data Science Training Program (BIDS-TP), supported by an NIH T32 training grant
- Rackham fellowships
The Bioinformatics Graduate Program encourages students from traditionally underrepresented minorities, disadvantaged backgrounds, and those with disabilities to apply for training grant appointments.
The program trains biomedical scholars through an intellectually stimulating environment and an effective competency-based curriculum.
