CAN 5163 CANCER BIOLOGY III
This course prepares students for the qualifying exam that must be passed to officially enroll in the Cancer Biology PhD program, by providing lectures that introduce grant writing and hypothesis-driven experimental science. Following those introductions, the course supports the students through the qualifying exam, with an orientation to the exam process and a series of classes modeled after real NIH-style grant review study sections in which the students critique each other¿s hypotheses, abstracts, and proposals. It finishes with the qualifying exam itself. This course is for second year Cancer Biology graduate students that have completed the other Cancer Biology courses.
