The program will be hosted 2025-2028 at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, just 20 - 30 minutes outside of Denver. Accommodations will be arranged at The Benson Hotel & Faculty Club. This program is an in person event.
Eligibility
This summer program is designed for post-baccalaureate researchers, including MS/PhD students, research staff, post-doctoral fellows, clinical fellows, and junior and senior research investigators.
MONET participants need to be residing in the United States at the time of the workshop (those residing in Canada and Mexico may also be considered). Additionally, this is a NIH-funded program and thus mandated to focus on training US citizens/permanent residents, however there are available slots for non-citizens/residents and we encourage those qualified individuals to apply.
Applicants should possess sufficient programming experience to run provided code templates in the form of RMarkdown and/or Jupyter Notebooks.
Although each participant will have free access to the ANVIL cloud computing resources, each participant will need to bring a laptop computer that is capable of connecting to the internet.

Meals and Incidentals: Participants will receive full support for food and incidental expenses during the program.
