Participant Benefits
OHSU PREP is a one-year, NIH-funded research intensive postbaccalaureate research program. The focus of OHSU PREP is to support the development of diverse postbac researchers in STEM and enhance their transition to a PhD program in biomedical research.
In addition to a year-long sustained research experience, OHSU PREP scholars receive individualized competency-based professional and career skill development and opportunities that allow for cultural immersion through interactions with near-peer mentors (i.e., graduate students, postdocs, and OHSU faculty). We believe in breaking down the systemic barriers that exist in academia and provide the necessary support to all our OHSU PREP scholars to succeed in graduate school and beyond.
Not only do we provide research experience and professional skill development, we also provide financial support in varying ways:
- A competitive research assistant salary and health benefits (approx. $39k/year);
- Relocation support up to $1000;
- Professional development funds to support graduate school application fees, professional society memberships, online courses, technology, registration and attendance to one national conference, etc.
