The ICARE NRT is funded by a five-year training grant from the National Science Foundation, with funding beginning in 2020 and ending in 2025. Considering this, the ICARE Master’s Program overall will not be accepting applications after January 2023.
If ICARE receives additional grant funding after 2025, then the ICARE Master’s Program may once again start accepting applications.
However, please contact individual ICARE faculty and departments as they may still have graduate openings in their laboratories and departments.
Feel free to reach out to icare@umbc.edu for any additional inquiries about our program.
