UCLA T32 Molecular Toxicology Training Grant |
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences T32 Institutional Training Grant to UCLA "Training in Molecular Toxicology "
Mission
The Molecular Toxicology T32 is a cornerstone of the training of the next generation of Toxicologists and Environmental Health Scientists at UCLA and in Southern California. The T32 supports predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees from a wide variety of graduate programs and departments at UCLA.
The stated mission of the program is to “Train pre-doctoral and postdoctoral students in how to understand and investigate the mechanisms of action of toxicological agents and to evaluate their impacts on health and the environment.”
The Molecular Toxicology training grant can support 4 predoctoral and 2 postdoctoral trainees for up to 2 years (dependent on funds availability and renewal).
Eligibility:
Application announcements are sent every year in May with a deadline in early June
Application components:
From the Trainee
1. Completed Application for Traineeship Form
2a. A description of Career Goals. (Do not exceed one single-spaced page.) OR
2b. A one-page single-spaced report of accomplishments during the current year’s support for individuals seeking renewal. *
3. Curriculum Vitae *

Eligibility:
- As a federally supported program, at the time of the award, trainees must be a citizen of the United States, or a non-citizen national, or must have been lawfully admitted for permanent residence and possess an Alien Registration Receipt Card (1-151 or 1-551) or some other verification of legal admission as a permanent resident.
- The proposed research projects should be responsive to the mission of the T32 and NIEHS. Examples of environmental exposures relevant to the mission of the NIEHS include industrial chemicals or manufacturing by-products, metals, pesticides, herbicides, air pollutants and other inhaled toxicants, particulates or fibers, fungal or bacterially derived toxins due to ambient exposures.
- Agents considered to belong to the mission area of other NIH Institutes include: alcohol, chemotherapeutic agents, ionizing radiation, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, smoking (except second-hand smoke), and infectious or parasitic agents, except when these are disease co-factors with an environmental toxicant exposure to produce the biological effect.
