The Academy’s student grants and fellowships allow medical students the opportunity to gain direct, hands-on experience in a high-quality research environment and exposure to health policy making and leadership development.
Each student conducts a summer research project under the direction of an established senior investigator at a top institution. The experience prepares them to move on to more intensive research commitments as their careers develop.
