The NIH-funded Metabolism and Nutrition T32 Training Program (MANTP) funds graduate students in N&M and other grad programs, as well as postoctoral trainees. Postdoctoral trainee Lauren Lucas was awarded an F32 fellowship from the National Health Institute for her project, “Impact of environmental factors on bacterial bile acid transforming activity” Congratulations, Lauren!
“I am very grateful to MANTP for helping me secure an F32! The mock study sections provided invaluable feedback that helped me identify and improve weak spots in my research and training plans. Additionally, MANTP program director Rick Eisenstein guided me on what experiences to highlight and how to leverage them to achieve my long-term goals. And even though I received the award on a resubmission, ultimately, the program requirement to submit an F application (and have a full draft ready a month before the submission deadline) was a key motivating factor that pushed me to get my initial submission done.”
