Training the next generation of interdisciplinary neuroscientists

The Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (SIGF) is a competitive, university-wide program that awards three-year fellowships to outstanding doctoral students engaged in interdisciplinary research. Three independent institutes, Bio-X, Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute, and Sarafan ChEM-H award these graduate fellowships in the biosciences. 

The Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute partners with the Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Stanford BioX to award Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowships (SIGFs) in the area of neuroscience. We are grateful to Bio-X and the Bio-X Leadership Council for incorporating the fellowships affiliated with the Institute into their application process.
