We’re hosting a webinar for Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP) (PAR-20-066) applicants:

Tuesday, November 30, 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET

During the webinar, we'll provide a broad overview of the program and share our expectations for applications and the required data tables for the January 27, 2022, receipt date. You can send questions to us before the webinar or post them in the chat box during the event.
