PROPEL is a postbac program with a focus on offering paid research opportunities to scholars interested in pursuing graduate school. Because research is the focus, PROPEL structures it’s programmatic activities to minimize time away from the bench. Curriculum and professional development activities are designed to make scholars well rounded scientists, so their time away from the bench results in a more thoughtful and focused lab tech.
Interested in having your postbac/lab tech join PROPEL? Faculty can help by connecting their newly hired scholar with the PROPEL program at their home institution. Scholars must apply with their faculty mentor so that program leadership can learn about you, the faculty mentor, your mentorship experience, and provide information on program structure and expectations.
