The 2026 David E. Rogers Student Fellowship Award application cycle will open November 2025.
Background
The David E. Rogers Student Fellowship Award is meant to enrich the educational experiences of medical and dental students through projects that bear on medicine and dentistry as they contribute to the health of communities, and to address the human needs of underserved or disadvantaged patients or populations. The content of the Fellowship might include clinical investigation, public health/epidemiology, health policy analysis, activities linking biomedicine, the social infrastructure and human or community need.
Eligibility Requirements
Competition is open to candidates attending medical or dental school in the United States. Funding will be provided for research projects lasting between ten (10) and twelve (12) weeks in the summer of the application year, between the applicant’s first and second years of medical/dental school. Students are encouraged to pursue research projects that extend beyond the startup period. Students enrolled in combined MD/PhD programs are not eligible for this program. Additionally, eligible candidates are required to be a US citizen, permanent resident of the US, or authorized to work in the US for the period of time covered by this proposed award.
Application Process
Applicants must provide the following as part of their online application:
- Completed Application Cover Page.
- Research proposal (not to exceed 1 page) which should outline the objective or intent of the Fellowship experience, as well as its content and structure and expected time frame. It should also include project title, applicant’s name, faculty mentor’s name, and research site. The font used should be Arial with a minimum 11 point type size.
- A biographical sketch of the student, including research background, career goals and immediate goals for the research project.
- A signed letter of support from faculty mentor, including the role of the student, a plan for the mentor’s direct supervision of the student’s research activities, and a plan for the student’s career development. Mentors are discouraged from sponsoring more than one student per award cycle.
- A biosketch of faculty mentor.
- Brief description of other projects that the mentor is working on.
- Documentation of mentor’s IRB or IACUC protocol approval or submission, if applicable. The complete protocol is not required, only the appropriate approval or submission cover page. Approvals for pending protocols must be in place by the start of the grant. In the case of animal research, include a copy of the institution’s current HHS Animal Welfare Assurance approval or renewal letter, or a letter from the institution’s research administration office affirming that the animal facility complies with all federal standards and has been so certified.
- Completed and Signed Application Signature Pages 1 and 2 (patent policy available online for download).
Award Information
Up to five grants will be awarded with a stipend of $4,000 each for student research projects in the summer of the award year. The stipend will be paid directly to the sponsoring institution in two equal installments (at the beginning and end of the grant period). The second payment will be contingent upon the submission of a written report on the project. No institutional overhead charges will be paid. Announcement of the successful applicants for the David E. Rogers Student Fellowships Awards will be made in time for a summer research project to commence. Student grantees are additionally expected to present their research findings at the Academy’s annual Medical Student Forum in September following the summer of their project, to an audience of Academy Fellows, faculty mentors, research colleagues and fellow student grant awardees.
