***新2022 * * *的资金信息
McGovern Medical School students may apply for external fellowships, awards or scholarships to fund their summer research activities. Typically funded by professional societies, these awards are for students seriously considering research in specific specialty areas. A few tips to consider when applying for an externally funded award:
- Start planningin the early Fall. Most application deadlines are in January or February.
- Establish a mentorwho is willing to work with you on the project. Most proposals require a description of a research project, if so you will need a mentor who can guide and advise.
- Apply early. These are competitive national awards; early applications will assure full review and allow time to apply for SRP funds should the fellowship not be received.
- Be aware and prepared. Individual Fellowships may include additional requirements, including travel and presentations at annual meetings related to the specialty or society
- 沟通with the SRP Program Coordinator about the application and its outcome so that all are informed and SRP funding advisement can be given in a timely way.
