The
Office of Student Research provides three types of stipend
support for student investigators. These are:
- Summer research
- Short term research
- One year medical
student research fellowships
All programs require a competitive
application. Summer research stipends are awarded primarily
to students between the first and second year. Short-term
stipends are awarded for specific blocks (1 - 3 months)
during the academic year when full-time research is performed.
These projects are supported by a variety of organizations
(NIH, Howard Hughes Program, private donors, and departmental
and University funds).

| One-Year
Medical Student Research Fellowships |
|
The Medical
School encourages many students to consider a fifth year
and devote it exclusively to research. This Student Research
Fellowship program is facilitated by charging no tuition
for the extra year and by the provision of a limited number
of stipends that can be paid to students. Approximately
15 - 20 students per year receive competitive one year
medical student research fellowships funded by various
sources through separate applications arranged by the
Office of Student Research. The stipends vary from $20,772
- $27,100 per year. These stipends are available on
a competitive basis and students in any year are eligible
to apply. All stipends are paid directly to the student
and are considered taxable income.
Students
interested in one-year medical student research fellowships
are encouraged to apply for more than one source of funding.
Our office will discuss multiple funding choices with
students so that they will have the best chance of receiving
a one year medical student research fellowship. Additional
information on all fellowships is available through the
Office of Student Research, ESH 310.
