Background
Purpose: Pre- and Postdoctoral Fellowships have been established through NIH support provided by the Organogenesis Training Grant. The goal of this NRSA Fellowship Award is to provide two years of support to Ph.D. students who have achieved candidacy and to postdoctoral fellows (Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree) who wish to undertake a research project in the field of organogenesis. The project must cross interdisciplinary lines and must fit within the goals of the Center for Organogenesis as outlined below. Applicants applying for NIH fellowships must be US citizens or resident aliens.
Organogenesis Mission Statement: The mission of the Center is to provide an infrastructure for the study of Organogenesis at the University of Michigan. The field of Organogenesis unites research in the clinical, basic science and applied arenas with a common, directed goal: To understand the basic mechanisms by which organs and tissues are formed and maintained, and to use this knowledge to create long lasting artificial organs, stem cell therapies or organ transplantation systems that will correct genetic and acquired diseases. The following research focus areas have been defined:
1. Organ Development
2. Organ/Tissue Maintenance and Replacement
3. Abnormal Organ Growth
Mentors for Trainees
Training grant mentors must be Organogenesis faculty members and must have prior approval by the Organogenesis Training Grant Advisory Committee to serve as a training grant mentor. Faculty who wish to apply for mentorship status on the training grant should submit an Application for Mentorship to: Rebecca Pintaar, Center for Organogenesis, 5736 Med Sci II, Box 0616. If you have questions, please contact Deborah Gumucio or call 647-0172
For more information: please contact Rebecca Pintar or call 936-2499
Recruitment
Because the Center is not presently a degree-granting program, the Organogenesis Training Program must rely largely on the efforts of the individual departments and units for the primary recruitment of graduate students. Likewise, postdoctoral trainees are recruited by individual mentors. In accord with this campus-wide initiative, an aggressive effort to recruit and maintain minority students for graduate research has been instituted by the office of the Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies in the Medical School and the Rackham School of Graduate Studies.
