Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q), a Qatar Foundation partner university, announced that applications are now open for the Biomedical Research Training Program for Nationals 2022. The deadline to apply for the program is Sunday, June 19, 2022. The program is designed to give Qatari nationals and residents of Qatar who have recently graduated from college the opportunity to gain key research skills and experience to help them kick-start successful careers in biomedical research. The training program is scheduled to run from Sep. 4, 2022 to June 29, 2023. Trainees will work alongside WCM-Q's world-leading research scientists and will gain practical laboratory skills, familiarity with research administration, knowledge of how to conduct clinical research projects, and the chance to contribute to ongoing scientific studies being carried out at WCM-Q. Although the program is aimed at recent graduates who are interested in pursuing a career as a bench or clinical researcher, applications from nationals and residents are welcomed irrespective of their discipline. The training program is a full-time commitment and trainees receive a certificate upon completion. The highly successful program is fully funded by WCM-Q. Graduates from previous cycles have gone on to publish in leading journals, have been accepted to graduate school programs in Qatar and abroad, and have established prestigious careers in biomedical research at institutions across Qatar.
