Grants & Initiatives

We’re always looking for the chance to expand opportunities for BU postdocs, graduate students, and faculty. In 2018 alone, we received $2.5 million from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation to launch new professional development offerings.

The National Science Foundation Innovations in Graduate Education (IGE) program is designed to encourage the development and implementation of bold, new, and potentially transformative approaches to STEM graduate education training. PDPA is funded to expand its PhD Progression program to incorporate workforce training content via collaborations with industry and institutional partners in the biomedical fields.
