Stem Cell Scientist Training Program
The main focus of the CSUN-UCLA Stem Cell Scientist Training Program is heavily weighted on goal-oriented practical laboratory training experience in stem cell biology and stem cell-based patient therapies. Our program is integrated with educational, ethical, and guidance features for highly qualified and culturally diverse senior undergraduate students. Our internship-host institution provides mentors who are […]
Stem Cell Training Enhancement Program with a focus on Translational Research
The proposed project will build on an existing robust stem cell technician training in place at the home institution by expanding and enhancing student training with a translational focus through the implementation of eight (8) internship experiences each year, as well as a range of other support activities. Specifically, the proposed project will: 1. Offer […]
Bridges to Stem Cell Research and Therapy at Pasadena City College
The proposed CIRM Bridges to Stem Cell Research and Therapy Award will support further development of an existing stem cell biology training program that includes a wide range of internship opportunities, a rigorous curriculum, substantive auxiliary training opportunities, and stem cell techniques coursework at a CIRM-funded Shared Research Laboratory. Based upon the applicant institution’s demographics […]
CIRM 2.0 Bridges Training Program
In 2004 the people of California, recognizing the significance and potential of stem cell therapies for treatment of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, macular degeneration, etc., passed proposition 71 to fund stem cell research and development of stem cell therapies. The California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) was established to manage the funds, plan and execute […]
SCILL- Stem Cell Internships in Laboratory-based Learning
The Lead Institution’s Stem Cell Internships in Laboratory-based Learning (SCILL) is a consortium of scientists, faculty and administrative leaders from six institutions who have made a commitment to train students at the graduate level for careers in stem cell biology. Graduates from this program will advance and accelerate stem cell therapies, and increase community awareness […]
CIRM Bridges 2.0: Training the Next Generation of Stem Cell Scientists
We are a large, urban university serving a highly diverse student population. Our proposed program would support 10 master’s-level trainees annually from two different master’s program in Biology: a Masters of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology with an emphasis in Stem Cell Biology (the “MS program”) and a Professional Science Masters with a concentration […]
Strengthening the Pipeline of Master’s-level Scientific and Laboratory Personnel in Stem Cell Research
The applicant institution will partner with a CIRM Major Facility to create a comprehensive curricular program that will produce 50 masters degree graduates with the scientific foundation, research experience, practical laboratory skills and motivation to pursue careers in stem cell research. Graduates of the masters program will develop knowledge and skills suitable for basic research […]
Interdisciplinary Master of Science Program in Regenerative Medicine
Our proposed (and existing) training program is an interdisciplinary Specialization in Regenerative Medicine, offered within the master of science (M.S.) degrees of three different departments from three academic units (colleges). The goal of our M.S. program is to graduate 10 day-one ready professionals per year capable of advancing CIRM’s mission of accelerating stem cell treatments […]
CIRM Stem Cell Biotechnology Training Program
The goal of the proposed program is to train exceptional and diverse advanced undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and masters students in the theory and techniques of stem cell research for the development of therapies. These students will be prepared to enter the California workforce with long-term career opportunities as stem cell researchers. They will be recruited from […]
Bridges to Stem Cell Research, Therapy and Careers: A Talent Development Program for Training Diverse Undergraduates for Careers in Regenerative Medicine
Designed specifically for a highly diverse student population, BSCR2 is a talent development program, targeting both high-achieving and lower-performing undergraduates and providing training, support, high-impact practices and enrichment to help ensure participants’ success in their research internships. Ten biology or biochemistry majors will be selected as BSCR2 scholars annually, for a total of 50. The […]
