Post-baccalaureate Research Year (PRY)

Post-baccalaureate Research Year (PRY) is a one-year biomedical research training program for recent college graduates from underrepresented groups who are considering graduate level training in the biomedical sciences. The program provides PRY scholars with:

1. a year-long, paid, mentored research experience
2. the opportunity to develop technical skills
3. the opportunity to develop critical thinking skills

PRY scholars receive competitive stipends. At the end of the program, PRY scholars should have the skills needed to successfully compete for admission into a biomedical Ph.D. program at VCU or another outstanding institution.
