Van Andel Research Institute | <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>Report</strong> Postdoctoral Fellowship Program 78
VARI | <strong>2009</strong> Postdoctoral Fellowship Program The Van Andel Research Institute provides postdoctoral training opportunities to Ph.D. scientists beginning their research careers. The fellowships help promising scientists advance their knowledge and research experience while at the same time supporting the research endeavors of VARI. The fellowships are funded in three ways: 1) by the laboratories to which the fellow is assigned; 2) by the VARI Office of the Director; or 3) by outside agencies. Each fellow is assigned to a scientific investigator who oversees the progress and direction of research. Fellows who worked in VARI laboratories in 2008 and early <strong>2009</strong> are listed below.
