Dear IPREP Applicants and Prospects,
We regret to inform you that we will not be reviewing applications for the IPREP Program at this time. This decision is pending the National Institutes for Health’s notification regarding the future of the Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Programs and their funding.
We deeply apologize for the uncertainty and the timing of this update. We are as uncertain as you about what will happen moving forward and will keep you informed as soon as we receive more information.
Thank you for your understanding during this challenging time.
Thinking of a career in biomedical or behavioral sciences, but not sure how to get there?
Indiana University Indianapolis can help. The Indiana University Indianapolis Post-Baccalaureate Research Education Program (IPREP) prepares recent college graduates for admission to graduate programs in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.
IPREP is funded through the National Institutes of Health and draws on the programmatic and research strengths of the major health and life sciences campus of IU Indianapolis. Training is provided in addictions neuroscience, biomedical engineering, clinical psychology, human performance and kinesiology, medical neuroscience, basic biomedical sciences (anatomy and cell biology, microbiology and infectious disease, musculoskeletal biology, pharmacology, and physiology), and other areas in biological behavior sciences toward the goal of matriculation into these graduate programs.
The long-term goal of IPREP is to broaden the participation of graduate students and faculty for these targeted Ph.D. programs at Indiana University Indianapolis.

I'm shaquita dead I was a 2016 I prep
fellow I am currently a first year
graduate student I'm in the master's
program for kinesiology in the school of
physical education and tourism
management my research bog over on
evaluating the use of virtual training
devices to see how it would affect
proprioception and springless thickness
and subjects doing walking we use motion
capture analysis software to track the
body segments during the task we have
two different systems we have a
stationary camera systems that are set
up around the room and we also have a
wireless system that we can attach to
the subjects body and then the computer
can actually track the motion and
calculate the Joint Center attracted you
to the program the students I met the
students at a conference the year before
I applied to the program I explained to
them that my decision to go into a ph.d
program I was kind of on the edge about
on the fence about what exactly I wanted
to do research
so the student spoke highly of the
program all the advantages of how the
program is actually set up step by step
they help you to figure out exactly
which route would be best for you in
pursuing a PhD I've benefited from the
program because before I wasn't 100%
Shuler on my career path I knew I want
to get a PhD but I just didn't know how
to go about doing that so a better part
of I prep gave me the tools that I
needed to help solidify that decision
and that pursuit the main goal is to
enter into a ph.d program but I'm
currently in a master's program because
that's the best route for me I needed a
little bit more exposure to the field of
biomechanics because my background is in
biology so doing this program helped me
to really solidify the decision that
getting a PhD is what I really I might
be mentor mentee relationship I think
that having a strong relationship with
your mentor is what makes the program a
success the 101 guidance that you get
from your mentor is actually what helps
you grow as a as a candidate for a
graduate program once you've completed I
grow in order to succeed in I Pro I
think students must come in with
you have to be willing to learn you have
to be open to constructive criticism
it's an area ultimately this program is
for students that help them to grow
