Undergraduate students from the Atlanta University Center and other colleges and universities are given informal instruction in the theory and techniques involved in research relating to gravitational and space biology. After appropriate training in basic principles and techniques, students are integrated into selected research projects. They obtain experiences in experimental design and data analysis. Graduate students must complete the core and advanced course work required for the MSM graduate program. A program of advanced course work designed to support specialization in a particular area of biomedical sciences is required of each student.
Postdoctoral fellows receive multidisciplinary research training.
Support is provided for up to three years. Fellows develop a research project, design the details of each experimental protocol, carry out the experimentation, analyze the data, and serve as primary authors on the manuscripts generated. The Morehouse School of Medicine is located in southwest Atlanta and is one of six schools in the Atlanta University Center. The Atlanta University Center is a consortium of independent institutions, which constitutes the largest predominantly black private educational complex in the United States.
