Research Training in Neuroendocrinology & Metabolism
Research Training in Neuroendocrinology & Metabolism is an NIH-funded T32 Training Program focused on providing high quality research training to both MD clinical and PhD postdoctoral trainees to cultivate the next generation of researchers in the fields of neuroendocrine and metabolic function and related fields.
The program began in 1990 under the leadership of Dr. Robert MacLeod. Throughout its 29 years of funding the training program has been led by a distinguished group of investigators with a broad knowledge of neuroendocrine and more recently metabolic and cardiovascular diseases and is currently being led by Program Director Dr. Eugene Barrett and Associate Directors Drs. Ananda Basu, Thurl Harris and Zhenqi Liu. Though closely affiliated with the Division of Endocrinology & Metabolism, the training program engages with a wide variety of University resources and institutionally-sponsored symposia aimed at encouraging collaboration and further enhancing the training experience for successful trainee outcomes. The ultimate goal of the program is to provide support in both technical and professional research skills so that upon completion of the program trainees are prepared to apply for and manage independent research funding.
The program funds up to 4 slots each year for eligible trainees:
- PhD, MD or equivalent
- US Citizens and Permanent Residents
- No more than 2 previous years of postdoctoral NRSA Training Grant or Fellowship support
