Medical Student Research Program

About the Program


The Department of Dermatology established a Medical Student Research Program in 2023. The program provides research opportunities for medical students by funding dermatological research projects that bridge clinical care and scientific discovery. Up to two awards will be given each application cycle. 

The grant is $2,500 per award, and the award period is six months from the date of award disbursement. 

Applications can propose any dermatology-related research. The type of research can range from T0 (basic science), T1 (translation to humans), T2 (translation to patients), T3 (translation to practice) to T4 (translation to communities).

Winter Cycle applications will be accepted until November 1; Decisions will be made and emailed by December 1. 

Summer Cycle applications will be accepted until May 1; Decisions will be made and emailed by June 1.
