Robert Briggs Fellowship Requirements
Notes
The Robert Briggs Fellowship is not open for applications; instead nominations will be sought from faculty advisors. The fellowship is open to graduate students in any of the Department of Biology graduate programs as long as their research focuses on developmental biology.
The funds will be used to provide summer support for graduate students. A strong preference will be given to senior students (e.g., G901 eligible).
Recipients will be selected by faculty from the IU Bloomington Department of Biology.
How to nominate a student
Nominations are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, February 28, 2020.
The advisor should combine all nomination materials for the Robert Briggs Fellowship into a single PDF file (the file name should contain the student’s name and “Briggs”) and submit to the IU Biology Graduate Office's IU Box dropbox.
The nomination must include:
- An up-to-date curriculum vitae from the student.
- A short (no longer than 1 page) nomination letter or statement highlighting the student’s accomplishments. Please indicate how the student’s research fits the focus of the Briggs fellowship in developmental biology.
