The Materials Science and Engineering Graduate Student Association (MSEGSA) invites graduate and postdoctoral scholars at Purdue University to submit an abstract for the third annual Materials at Purdue Symposium (M@PS).

PhD candidates and postdocs in the life sciences, medical sciences, and related subjects are encouraged to attend. This webinar session provides a writing strategy for research plans as well as advice about preparing the other required documentation. The F32 fellowship and the career-pathway K99/R00 program will be covered. Both fellowships fund 1-3 years of your postdoctoral studies; additionally, the K99/R00 provides 3 years of funding once you transition to a beginning faculty position. The K99/R00 does not require US citizenship.

NIH offers three fellowship opportunities for graduate students aiming to become research scientists in fields serving to improve the human condition. If you are a US citizen or permanent resident, you are eligible to apply for the NIH F31 (or F30 if you are the PhD/MD program). If you want to pursue cancer research as a postdoc, you might be interested in the F99/K00 which is open to all students regardless of citizenship, however, only ONE student per year is allowed to apply (requiring a nomination process). All three of these fellowships fund the last 1-2 years of your graduate studies so you can just focus on your research; additionally, the F99-K00 funds up to 3 years of a cancer-research focused postdoc. This webinar session will provide a writing strategy for research plans as well as advice about preparing the other required documentation.
