The Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program in Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases (PRIDE)
Under the direction of WashU clinician–researchers Ana Maria Arbelaez, MD; Rita Brookheart, PhD; and Dominic Reeds, MD, PRIDE offers postbaccalaureate scholars with an intensive two-year mentored research experience in diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolic diseases (DEM), assistance with the graduate school application process to ultimately complete a research-focused biomedical degree program (PhD or MD/PhD).
Selected scholars will not only receive a mentored, full-time research experience in DEM, but also didactic coursework, professional development seminars, conferences, retreats, and comprehensive guidance throughout the graduate school application process.
These highly skilled postbacs will benefit from protected time to develop research skills and strengthen their understanding of the ethics and methodologies utilized in biomedical research, so they are further motivated to pursue a future career in DEM-related research.
Application Cycle: October 1, 2024 – January 31, 2025
(for a June 2025 start date)
