BUSM’s longest NIH-funded research training program, “Biology of the Lung: A Multi-Disciplinary Program,” has been awarded a five-year, T32 grant to provide multidisciplinary training and exposure to collaborative lung biology in three scientific areas that are special strengths at Boston University: Development and Regenerative Medicine; Immunology and Infection; and Biomedical Data Sciences.
This renewal means that the NIH has continuously funded this program for 50 years. The award provides federal support for BU faculty members to mentor research trainees in lung biology and pulmonary sciences, as well as in professional skills like grant writing, science communication and career development.
