New Science Fellowships Web Page
HILS has just launched a comprehensive new web page which lists funding resources available to our enrolled life sciences PhDs.  Because HILS PhDs have access to a wide array of 'outside' predoctoral science fellowship funds (e.g., from non-Harvard funding sources), we've compiled a directory of them on the HILS website--sortable by alphabet, interest group, application date, and PhD study stage.  These non-Harvard resources can be used to help support--or even augment--the University's financial aid package, and we encourage you to look them over.

Praveen Arany: Spanning Sciences

Praveen Arany arrived in Cambridge from his home in Bangalore, India, one year ago to embark on a unique course of study in the life sciences – one made possible only by the flexibility of Harvard’s graduate programs.

Now in his second year, Praveen is currently enrolled in 3 areas of study: the PhD program in Biological Sciences in Dental Medicine, the Leder Medical Sciences Program and a residency training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology--all focused on providing formal training in biological sciences for HILS students.

Because groundbreaking research in the life sciences is now more interdisciplinary than ever, Harvard has created the Integrated Life Sciences (HILS) Graduate Program.  HILS integrates 12 graduate programs across 4 Harvard faculties, and oversees all PhD education in the life sciences.
