Welcome to the Community for Advanced Graduate Training (CAGT)!
About CAGT
This Web site is provided by NIGMS to help MARC U-STAR (T34) undergraduate students find suitable research training opportunities at the graduate level, and to assist directors of NIGMS' Predoctoral Training Grants (T32) in recruiting U-STAR students into their programs.
NIGMS' MARC U-STAR (T34) Program trains undergraduate students in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and enhances their research skills in preparation for graduate school. MARC U-STAR students are honors undergraduate juniors and seniors, mostly from underrepresented minority groups, who have expressed a desire to pursue graduate education leading to a Ph.D. Their participation in this research training program highly qualifies them for science research training programs at the graduate level.
NIGMS' Institutional Predoctoral Training Grants (T32) support predoctoral research training at the graduate school level. Such training covers biomedical sciences, behavioral sciences, and related clinical fields. Therefore, directors of T32 programs seek students with the biomedical research skills that the MARC U-STAR program engenders.
So welcome to the community - we wish you the best of luck in matching up!
CAGT is now open for 2008-2009 MARC students to register and input information. MARC student registration and data entry closes on Saturday, November 15, 2008.
