CBI Career Outcomes:
Over the 20 years of the UMBC-UMB CBI program, our program success rate and career outcomes have been measurably strong! More than 40 students have been fully supported by the training grant fellowships (and nearly 40% of those have been historically underrepresented), while nearly 175 students (ca. 50% of which have been historically underrepresented) have been partially supported by programmatic support. The program retention and graduation rates both average 97%. The career placements of former trainees of the UMBC-UMB CBI program have been equally as impressive, with former trainees finding employment in industry, government, scientific publishing, and academia. Examples of career placements include (but are not limited to):
