Welcome to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (OGPS) at the University of Michigan & Michigan Medicine. Our research enterprise at UM has remarkable breadth, depth, and innovation, attracting students and postdoctoral fellows from around the world for their research training. OGPS is an information hub for our outstanding and diverse young scholars, and a resource for all of our trainees, faculty, and staff. We aim to provide a foundation and a community for trainees to explore the next step of their career in the biomedical sciences. To this end, our team develops programs and pathways for students and postdocs to grow intellectually, personally, and professionally on their scientific journey. Go Blue!
