The Summer Research Fellowship Program supports original student research under the direct supervision of an MU School of Medicine faculty member. Students receive stipends while working for 8-10 weeks on-site at the School of Medicine on projects proposed by faculty members.

Applications will open February 3.

Project Opportunities & Application

The Research Council solicits research project descriptions from faculty members and distributes them to students near the end of the fall semester. Students pursue projects of interest by directly contacting the appropriate faculty member to discuss project details and student qualifications.

Fellowship Award Considerations

When considering fellowship awards, the Research Council evaluates the potential impact of the research experience on the student’s medical education. During the project, the student and sponsor each will submit reports summarizing the scientific and educational progress made with fellowship support.
