TGP's Professional Development Award
The TGP Professional Development Award provides funding for students pursuing opportunities aimed to promote career and professional development, particularly those intended to help expand students’ research, skills, and/or professional network. The opportunity must have a direct connection to therapeutics research and/or therapeutics careers. Opportunities that also complement or enhance a student’s dissertation project will be highly considered. Opportunities may include but are not limited to: conference registration or travel, workshops or non-Harvard course attendance, and subscriptions or memberships to professional societies.
Students eligible to apply must be in the Therapeutics Graduate Program (TGP), must be a G3 or above, and must have completed at least five of seven TGP requirements (see below for specifics).
Applications are accepted at the beginning of each fiscal year, July 1st and will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis thereafter. The award will fund activities taking place no more than 1 year after the start of the fiscal year. Six $500 awards are available as of July 1st, 2025. Due to the finite nature of the funding, students are encouraged to apply early to ensure their application is reviewed before the awards have been distributed.
