In 2023, the UTMB GSBS launched our new Innovative Methods Fellowship (IMF) Program. The mission of this program is to invest in the career development of UTMB GSBS Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows by offering them a unique
opportunity to learn innovative scientific methods and techniques not yet available on the UTMB campus. The intent is to broaden and advance the research capabilities of our trainees to make them more attractive candidates for external
funding and advance their job prospects while also expanding their professional and scientific networks.
The IMF program awards several fellowships annually to offset costs associated with the travel and living expense of working outside of UTMB for an extended period of time
(up to 2 weeks). UTMB mentors are expected to pay any costs associated with sample analysis, time for technicians or scientists to teach the new methods/techniques to trainees, data analysis, etc. the external lab may require. Fellowship money should
not be utilized for payment of anything other than the trainee’s own expenses. A budget is required as part of the application.
