Welcome from Dr. Sarah Codd

Director of Montana INBRE Student Programs

"Montana INBRE is committed to building a vibrant community of young scholar scientists in Montana. We consider our students to be investigators in training, and our goal is to prepare them for careers in biomedical research and public health. Montana INBRE Student Research Programs provide young investigators with the framework to conduct real research and practice professional career skills such as working with a mentor, securing funding, and seeking out training opportunities -- all within the context of a supportive, collaborative and friendly network.

View our program offerings below to learn more about INBRE support for students."

One of our central goals is to strengthen the professional researcher workforce pipeline in Montana. The main way we're accomplishing this is by expanding research and internship opportunities for Montana-based students.

Montana INBRE is committed to enhancing Montana's long-term biomedical research capacity by supporting undergraduate and graduate research experiences today.

Absolutely not! You don't have to own a lab coat to work with us, although many students do. We define biomedical research very broadly and support students from varying disciplines, including the life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, math, applied sciences, and social sciences, as well as interdisciplinary fields like public health, community health, behavioral health, and others.

Bottom line: If you're a college student who's interested human health, chances are we have an opportunity that fits with your academic and career goals.
