Deadline for application: July 1, 2026, by 11:59 PM.

We are excited to offer you a spot in the INDARB-2 Program. INDARB-2 is designed for PhD students past their first year and postdocs who are enthusiastic about the interdisciplinary training INDARB offers.

As an INDARB-2 participant, you will engage in the same rich array of research experiences, mentoring, and professional development activities designed to prepare you for an independent research career. INDARB-2 comes with all the benefits of INDARB-1—full integration into the training cohort, access to program resources, and a strong mentoring network—with the exception of direct stipend funding. You will be fully integrated into the INDARB training cohort and play an important role in our community.

Benefits

  • You will receive all the same training and development opportunities as INDARB trainees.
  • Participation in INDARB-2 will provide you with a competitive advantage as you prepare for the next stage in your career.
  • Participation will also enhance your CV/resume documenting this additional training and associated activities (outreach and mentorship).
  • Note that the INDARB-2 will not provide student funding.

Expectations

PLEASE NOTE — If accepted into INDARB-2, you'll be expected to meet the same program requirements as INDARB trainees.

This includes:

  • Bi-weekly INDARB workshops
  • Grant proposal preparation and submission
  • Community outreach
  • Mentorship activities
  • Participation in the annual INDARB retreat
