The Whitaker International Program sends emerging leaders in U.S. biomedical engineering (or bioengineering) overseas to undertake a self-designed project that will enhance their careers within the field. The goal of the program is to assist the development of professional leaders who are not only superb scientists, but who also will advance the profession through an international outlook. Along with supporting grant projects in an academic setting, the Whitaker International Program encourages grantees to engage in policy work and propose projects in an industry setting. 

For 2013, the program will fund: 60 Fellow and Scholar Grants; 20 Summer Grants; and 40 Undergraduate Grants. Please visit the specific programs for detailed eligibility requirement at their website: www.whitaker.org.
