Responsibilities

The Graduate Research Employment Program (GREP) is a limited term (1-2 year) post-baccalaureate program for participants with an interest in biomedical research. The primary purpose of GREP is to provide a post-baccalaureate laboratory research experience that applies skills in science, technology, engineering or math to biomedical research including basic science or translational research. GREP participants gain research experience that may help them to decide on a career path related to biomedical research. In addition, the experience can increase the participants’ competitiveness and preparation for the next step in their career. These goals are achieved by providing:

• A mentored research experience in a world-class biomedical research laboratory

• Opportunities to participate in selected graduate classes and seminars

• Career development, mentoring and networking opportunities

• Presentation opportunities
