The Endocrine Society offers Summer Research Fellowships to encourage promising undergraduate students, medical students and first year graduate school students to pursue careers in endocrinology. The Society provides a stipend to each student award recipient to participate in research projects under the guidance of a Society member for 10 to 12 weeks during the summer.
Mentor Eligibility: Mentors must be Active Members of The Endocrine Society and projects must be under the direction of the mentor. Only one application per mentor may be submitted. Mentors who won a fellowship in 2009 are ineligible to sponsor an application.
Student Eligibility: Students must be currently enrolled in school fulltime and may not be employed as a research assistant. Students’ academic levels must fall into one of the three categories at the time they apply:
1. Undergraduate students who are currently in their third year of schooling or beyond
2. First year graduate students (began graduate school fall 2009)
3. Medical students who are beyond their first year of schooling
The fellowship is not intended as an income source while a student is taking time off from school.
Summer Research Fellowship Application Deadline: February 12, 2010
