An essential aspect of the doctoral program is the individual research in close collaboration with members of the faculty. Research training begins in the first year of study with direct placement into a mentor’s laboratory.

The diversity of faculty collaborations provides research opportunities in addition to those available at the Medical School, such as the Vollum Institute for Advanced Biomedical Research and Portland State University.

Trainees are funded and are encouraged to write their own individual training grant applications, focused on their individual research interests. Our trainees have been highly successful at obtaining training grant awards from a number of agencies, including:

  • National Institute of Health
  • National Science Foundation (NSF)
  • American Heart Association
