How to Apply
If you are interested in the program and wish to apply for a summer
fellowship, you should:
- Search the list
of faculty members who are willing to serve as mentors and
identify those whose research interests you. Because this a grant funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK) preference will be given to mentors funded by these disciplines. You may also
contact faculty whose names do not appear on the list.
- Meet with the faculty members of interest and discuss possible
projects that could be completed within the 8 ½-week program.
(It is not the intent of the program to support clinical service
or chart review studies.) Choose your final mentor and
project.
- With the assistance of your faculty mentor, develop
an hypothesis-driven research proposal and complete the application
form. Please note there is information required from

the intended format and desired content.
