Hey, does anyone know have a list of programs that pay a stipend for doing research during the postbacc "glide" year? There's one at NIH and I thought there was also something at Virginia Tech, couldn't find too much info about anywhere else...

As far as I know, on this side of the US (California), none of our post-bacc programs provides any stipend. There may be financial aid based on FAFSA though. Research stipends are usually funded outside of the program such as via NIH as you said, or the actualy research lab you work in. The lab that I originally worked for as an undergrad was kind of enough to fund me even through post-bacc, and now as a grad student. So depends on how much $$ the lab has, and the work you do for them.
