URBEST Program
The URBEST program seeks to better prepare graduate students and postdoctoral trainees for careers outside of academia. To do this, it funds instruction in leadership and professionalism, provides training pathways in industry, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship; regulatory affairs, compliance, and review; and science and technology policy - and creates new opportunities for experiential learning through internships and externships.
