What is PITCH?

PITCH (Program for Interdisciplinary Training in CHemical Biology) is an NIH-funded T32 Institutional Pre-doctoral Training Grant program designed to support PhD students working at the Chemistry/Biology interface. PITCH Trainees are selected via a competitive application process to receive stipend and travel support. Trainees pick a faculty co-mentor to complement the expertise of their thesis lab. At this time PITCH support is limited to US citizens, noncitizen nationals, or permanent residents.

We have openings for two predoctoral students on the PITCH Chemical Biology Training Grant starting 9/1/24. We invite applications from graduate students who will be starting their 2nd year this fall. Students from any relevant graduate program are welcome to apply (including MD/PhD students finishing the 1st year of their PhD phase). Applicants from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
