The University of Pennsylvania Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (PennPREP) offers a one-to- two-year research experience for students who have completed college and are interested in pursuing a doctoral degree in the biomedical sciences. The program provides a significant research experience and preparation for applying to and succeeding in graduate school.
The goal of the program is to increase understanding of the principles and practices of biomedical research. The core of the program is a long-term research project conducted in the laboratory of a skilled faculty mentor. PREP scholars will learn to devise hypotheses, plan experiments, analyze results, and consider the impact of their research on their scientific discipline. Activities in the lab will be supplemented with opportunities designed to prepare PREP scholars for graduate school, such as:
Application ProcessApplications will be accepted between November 1, 2015 and March 1, 2016Applicants are required to submit:

During the second year, scholars must commit to applying to PhD programs in the biomedical sciences. DatesApplications will be accepted between November 1, 2015 and March 1, 2016. We will start reviewing applications on or after March 1 and will continue notifications of admission until all slots are filled. The program will begin with orientation activities in the beginning of July. EligiblityOnly U.S. citizens or permanent residents may apply.
