The Young Innovative Investigator Program (YIIP) at UConn
provides graduate level academic training to underrepresented students pursuing
biological and biomedical science careers. YIIP is a 1 to 2 year full-time
program for college graduates offering graduate level coursework and mentored
research in biomedical laboratories on the UConn Health campus. YIIP Scholars
are employed as Graduate Assistants, and required graduate level course tuition
is waived.
This is a great gap year opportunity for students interested in pursuing a MD/PhD. The application deadline is March 20, 2020. For more information, please visit the program website here.
