Summer Research Program


Student Research Fellowships are available to currently enrolled medical students and to students accepted for admission for the upcoming academic year. The purpose of the student Research Fellowship program is to interest medical students in research and to acquaint them with career possibilities in academic medicine. Students are encouraged, as far as possible, to employ their own initiative in planning and pursuing a research project of their choice. This is an opportunity for students to participate directly in the investigation of a scientific question under the supervision of a faculty sponsor and to become familiar with the processes involved in defining a problem, evaluation its significance, designing experiments for its solution, and interpreting data.

Both the process of application for the student research fellowship and the actual performance of the work proposed should represent significant cognitive learning experiences and not consist of purely technical services or repetitive technical activities. Receipt of a fellowship will be noted in the student's academic file with the required one page abstract of the research findings.

Pre-freshman and freshmen usually hold the fellowship during the summer. Students may arrange to hold a fellowship during their senior year or at another time with the consent of the Student Affairs Office. The stipend for the fellowship is $5,193.00 for a 12-week period. (Amount is prorated if less than 12 weeks.)

Application is available through the College of Medicine.
