Admissions to the research training program will be
decided upon by the Advisory Committee. The program is open
to students admitted to the NACS program, or departments represented
by any of the core faculty members. Predoctoral students can submit
applications while applying to one of the participating departments
or after being accepted by that department. Current UM students will be
able to apply to the program at any time during their career. Students can
be accepted into the training program only after they have been accepted
by the NACS program and a home department. Once students have been
accepted to a department the application will be forwarded to the
training program Advisory Committee for consideration and support. On the
application, students will indicate their interest in the program by noting which
program faculty member they want to work with. Alternatively, the faculty members
interested in a particular student (e.g. because of correspondence with that student)
will be able to 'flag' a particular application when it is being evaluated by the
home department. Since Training Program faculty are in specific departments,
it will be quite easy to insure that all appropriate students are brought to the
attention of the program.
Applications sent to the Advisory Committee will be evaluated for
admissions and support by the Training Program. Admissions will
be based upon (a) availability of funds to support the student,
(b) interest expressed by the student in training in areas served
by the program, (c) letters of recommendation, (d) grades, and
(e) GRE scores. Whenever possible, each year's group of acceptable
applicants will be brought to UM by the Training Program for personal
interviews with faculty and current trainees.
