Penn Medicine Receives NIH Training Grants for Genomic Medicine

Researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have received two highly competitive post-doctoral Institutional Training Grants for genomic science from the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The awards, known as T32 grants, are distributed in a variety of biomedical categories by divisions of the NIH and help institutions support training of pre- and post-doctoral fellows in basic, clinical, and behavioral research.

The program will feature two core components. The first is didactic training in conceptual bioethics, empirical methods, and genetic science. The second is mentored original research leading to empirical and conceptual scholarly publications. Training will be provided by faculty members from departments at the Perelman School of Medicine, School of Arts and Sciences, and the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
