PhD Thesis and Postdoc Research Completion Program

Overview

PhD Thesis and Postdoc Research Completion Program

The PhD Thesis and Postdoc Research Completion Program aims to provide financial support to PhD students who are completing their dissertations and postdoctoral fellows who had been expecting support from awarded federal research grants that were terminated. This includes terminated grants to students and postdocs themselves (such as F31s, F32s, R36s, or K awards) or institutional training awards (e.g. T32).
