This program aims to provide interdisciplinary training at the interface of behavioral and biological sciences, integrating perspectives, approaches, and methodologies. It will focus on students with a behavioral background and require co-mentoring by faculty from both sides of the interface. Funding will be provided in the first year, with contributions from other NIH institutes/centers.
