FAQ

I am a UC San Diego graduate student or a postdoc from an institute other than UC San Diego. Can I apply for an EIP visit?

Unfortunately, at this point we can accept only current UC San Diego Postdoctoral scholars into our program.

I am a UC San Diego postdoc who has previously attended an EIP visit. Can I attend again?

Although we favor new applicants during the selection process, we do not limit the number of visits of EIP alumni! Note that you have to apply for each specific visit, once the announcement has been made.
