Eligibility
UC Davis PhD students are eligible for the AMID Program if they are a US citizen or permanent resident, are engaged in a research project that uses animal models to study human infectious diseases, and have a major professor who is an AMID trainer, or is eligible to become one. Students in a combined MD/PhD or DVM/PhD degree program, and students that are underrepresented* in science, are especially encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to students that have passed the qualifying examination and advanced to candidacy.
