• Sabbatical series / Lecture series.
• Regular Symposium: we hold our Ted Doan Symposium in Nanobiology every year.
• Monthly meetings for all MNIMBS members to share progress.

Graduate students:

• Faculty to bring in GSRA students suitable for the Institute. Institute to support 2–3 with matching and bridging funds.
• A Rackham Certificate program has been approved as a subspecialty in addition to a student’s focused Ph.D. degree.  The Certificate Program has been established in coordination with Program Chairs for Applied Physics, Biophysics, Advanced Computing, Macromolecular Science, Bio–Informatics, as well as Department Chairs such as Biomedical Engineering, Chemistry, etc.
• Identify courses in various Departments.
• A bi-weekly graduate student led meeting: students present their research.

Undergraduate students:

• Introduce an undergraduate overview course to OVPR for funding; cross–linked LS&A — Engineering; course of 24 to 35 lectures given by multiple M-NIMBS faculty (and possibly invited speakers).

All levels:

• Ted Doan Lecture series for interdisciplinary nanotechnology applications in biological and medical sciences are held several times per year.

External funding:

• Graduate students and Postdoctoral Research Fellows should largely be funded from grants and contracts as well as donor funding based on merit or specific need.
• Training grants; Foundation and NIH training grants.
