The VI4 Graduate Student Exchange Program provides graduate students in microbiology and immunology an opportunity to spend time immersed in a lab at a partner institution across the US. These “mini-sabbaticals” allow students to network, gain experience in areas that compliment or expand their thesis, and gather insights from faculty and trainees outside of their home institutions. Each “mini-sabbatical” is expected to last approximately 4 weeks, and student travel expenses and stipends are fully covered.
Interested graduate students from partner programs are invited to apply. Applications are reviewed annually before the beginning of the program year, with travel expected during the summer months. Approximately one student per institution will be selected each year.
