Behavioral-Biomedical Interface Training Program
The University of Iowa offers a special interdisciplinary research training program for pre-doctoral students in Psychology called the Behavioral-Biomedical Interface Training Program (BBIP).
BBIP is supported in part by a National Institutes of Health T32 pre-doctoral research training grant T32GM149386 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. The program—Understanding Health and Disease at the Behavioral-Biomedical Interface—aims to teach the next generation of behavioral science researchers how to utilize biomedical methodologies and conceptual frameworks for making breakthroughs in understanding both health and behavior. Students in the program are graduate students in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at the University of Iowa.
Students admitted to the training program are eligible to apply for funding under the training grant mechanism. Mentors include faculty from the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences, the College of Public Health, and the UI Carver College of Medicine, with Susan Lutgendorf, Ph.D., Michelle Voss, Ph.D., and Daniel Tranel, Ph.D., Co-directors.
