Mayo Clinic Summer Research Fellowship (SRF)

The Mayo Clinic has a Summer Research Fellowship for minority medical students between 1st and 2nd year of Medical School. The eight-week Research Fellowship matches students with Mayo Clinic investigators based on their interests. For many years the specific and unique health needs of underrepresented populations in the U.S. have been inadequately studied. One reason for this is the extreme shortage of clinical investigators from underrepresented groups. Although progress has been made toward increasing the number of underrepresented clinicians, little, if any, increase in the number of clinical investigators has occurred. Mayo Clinic offers a comprehensive training program for patient-oriented research. In addition to their research project, students attend a series of seminars and presentations that introduce them to clinical research methods.

The New York Academy of Medicine invites applications for the David E. Rogers Fellowship Program from first-year medical students for support of a project executed during the summer between the first and second years of medical school.

The content of the Fellowship might include clinical investigation, health policy analysis, activities linking biomedicine, the social infrastructure and human need, or community activities. Half the fellowships awarded are dedicated to projects focused on HIV/AIDS prevention or care. Special consideration will be given to projects carried out within New York City. A completed application form is available online or by request. The fellowship is stipended.
