Coulter Fellowship Program

The Coulter-Drexel Translational Research Program is dedicated to improving human healthcare by supporting translational research in biomedical engineering and the health sciences – research directed at the transfer of promising technologies developed at Drexel into clinical practice. Started in 2006, the Coulter program now exists at 15 universities across the United States. The Coulter process for vetting, selecting and managing projects is known for its aggressive commercialization timeline (3-5 years), and Coulter funded projects average an 8x leverage of the funds granted in follow-on funding from angel and venture investors.

Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Fellowship Program

(iCARE) for Healthcare Program

As part of the U.S. Department of Education's Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAANN) Program, the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems (BIOMED) at Drexel University has established a unique doctoral training program that will contribute to the development of a highly skilled workforce in the interdisciplinary research areas of biomechanics and medical devices, human factors and performance, tissue engineering, neuroengineering, and imaging technology. This program, entitled the "Drexel Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Research Enterprise (iCARE) for Healthcare," incorporates classroom teaching experience, individual mentoring, education on contemporary teaching strategies, and professional development opportunities.

We seek to increase the number of students seeking academic positions in areas of national need and to train a new generation of today's interdisciplinary engineers with independent thinking and analytical reasoning skills to develop the innovative life-saving solutions of tomorrow's global competitive market. More than twenty faculty mentors from BIOMED, College of Computing and Informatics, College of Nursing and Health Professions, College of Engineering, School of Education, College of Arts and Sciences, and College of Medicine collaborate in this new program to train our graduate students. The institutional support, regional partnerships, advisory board members, student interest, growth potential, dedication, and motivation are already in place to carry out the objectives of the Drexel iCARE Program and to ensure that this program has a long-standing, positive impact on reshaping graduate studies in Drexel BIOMED for years to come.

Please contact Dr. Amy Throckmorton if you have any questions about this new training program for PhD students.
