Can a PREP apprenticeship be longer than 1 year?
A. Appointment of PREP participants will be for 1 year with a possibility of a second year extension. In preparing the PREP application, if a second year apprenticeship is anticipated, the PD/PI must explain or justify the need for this extension and should plan for activities different from those that will be carried out during the first year. The expected accomplishments for the second year apprenticeship should also be given. Support for the second year apprenticeship will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Following the completion of the apprenticeship, PREP participants are expected to enroll directly in high caliber Ph.D. programs.
