Applicants who received their undergraduate degree (graduated) less than two years prior to the start of PREP are eligible for the program.

While it is preferred for participants to join the program with some basic laboratory experience, the PREP program has been designed to provide hands-on research experience to those who have had limited access to such training experiences.
