The Human Evolutionary Biology Doctoral Program (HEBDP) is a graduate program linking paleoanthropology with molecular and organismal biology, chemistry, engineering and geology to promote interdisciplinary research emphasizing experimental and comparative methods for studying human evolutionary history.
HEBDP is a collaboration between The George Washington University, Howard University, The University of Maryland, the Smithsonian Institution and other DC area researchers. Our objective is to provide research training that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. Funding from the National Science Foundation IGERT initiative in combination with resources from the above institutions allows us to provide an outstanding program of graduate training and research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; with a large, diverse, accomplished faculty; and with state-of-the art facilities and resources.
HEBDP combines coursework with innovative problem-based learning seminars, internships and research to train students in new methods for studying our species' fossil, archaeological and genetic records. HEBDP also includes training in skills required for the effective public dissemination of science.
