Equipping leaders in engineering to develop, test and commercialize life-saving innovations.
The Acute and Critical Care Engineering Training Program (ACCETP) is a unique NIH T32 Training Program designed to provide translational research training and career development for engineering doctoral students pursuing PhD research with potential for impact in acute and/or critical care settings.
Our goal is to prepare outstanding engineering leaders who we equip to collaboratively develop, test, and commercialize medical technologies and scientific innovations that address the distinct design requirements of critical care.
The Acute and Critical Care Engineering Training Program is open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, and supports two years of tuition and GSRA salary for participating students. The program is geared toward students who are entering their second year of PhD studies, though applicants at other stages of their program may be considered.
This program is supported by the National Institutes of Health under award number 1T32EB032756-01A1.

Why ACCE Training?
"ACCE trainees will learn to communicate and collaborate across engineering and biomedical disciplines, ensuring that they are prepared to actively participate in and lead interdisciplinary research teams. Ultimately, they will be equipped to develop systems that are seamlessly integrated and relevant to the clinical needs across acute and critical care, propelling their careers in a way that is not currently possible."
Kenn Oldham, Ph.D., Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Associate Director of the Weil Institute, and Director of the ACCE program
