It is the goal of this training program to provide an in-depth understanding of vascular biology in a number of areas of investigation ranging from development to pathology.  Both graduate student and post-doctoral fellows enter the program in their second or third year and are required to complete academic and research requirements with oversight from a faculty mentor and the training grant committee.  Selected trainees can have up to three years (pre-doctoral fellows) and up to two years (post-doctoral fellows) of consecutive funding.

  Applications are open in May, selection of candidates is completed in June with initiation of appointment in July.   The training program is open to any UCLA Ph.D. / MSTP student or post-doctoral fellow who is a US citizen or permanent resident and whose research interest focuses on aspects of vascular biology.
