IMI Fellowship Program

The IMI NNF graduate fellows will not only be pursuing excellent research programs, they will have the opportunity to explore potential career paths by participating in a professional placement during their degree program. Placements will be with industry, government, regulatory agencies, or extension, depending on a student’s interest.
