The faculty mentor is expected to provide the primary source of support for a NGP graduate student. At least two years of funding is to be established by the faculty mentor at the time a student is accepted into the lab. Information is provided below on when support begins, how to hire a student into your lab, and how much it costs to train a NGP student.
Students are paid by the NGP during their first year in the program. Mentors assume financial responsibility of the student starting in mid-August of the student's second year (unless the student is supported by a multi-year fellowship). Financial support by the mentor will continue until the student:
- Graduates with their doctoral degree
- Receives funding from an alternative source (i.e. fellowship or training grant)
- Withdraws from the lab and/or program
Students will officially select a mentor after completing their laboratory rotations. Selection of a mentor usually occurs at the end of spring semester during the first year in the program but may be earlier or later.
- As soon as it is agreed that the student will join your lab, inform the NGP Administrator via email at ngp@osu.edu.
- Mentors will begin to financially support students in mid-August of their second year unless a student is supported by a multi-year fellowship.
- Hire the student in Workday
- Information about the hiring process will be sent to you in July via email from the NGP Administrator.
- Complete the hiring process by August 1.
If your NGP student has not yet completed their candidacy, the expected cost for the 2024-2025 year is ~$55,645.27, with a detailed breakdown below:
If your NGP student has successfully completed candidacy, the expected cost for the 2024-2025 year is ~$46,712.50, with a detailed breakdown below:
Note: The non-resident surcharge applies primarily to international students and domestic students that have not applied for Ohio residency for tuition purposes. Students may apply for Ohio residency for tuition purposes. Information about eligibility and applying may be found at: https://registrar.osu.edu/Residency/index.html.
Yes! NGP Students frequently earn their own funding via a variety of different mechanisms. In recent years, students have been funded by:
- University Fellowships
- Pelotonia Fellowship
- NSF GRFP
- NIH F30/31
- NIH F99-K00
- NIH R-level diversity supplements
- OSU NIH TPNI T32
- OSU NIH Craniofacial T32 (Sheridan)
- OSU NIH CCTS TL1
More than half of our students receive funding from at least one outside source for some portion of their graduate careers.
