The University of California, Berkeley hosts a training grant sponsored by the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences. The central mission of this Applied Biology and Bioprocess Engineering (ABBE) education program is to create an environment that blends classwork with academic and industrial research to train scientists that can produce products with broad impact to human health. The grant provides funding for 8 Ph.D. candidates annually. The program involves 13 faculty from UC Berkeley, many of whom also have appointments at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The fellowships will cover full tuition and provide a stipend, which will be subsidized up to the level of the trainee's departmental stipend. Women and underrepresented students are especially encouraged to apply.
