One-year Fellowships
The Medical School encourages students to consider a fifth year devoted to research. This one-year fellowship is facilitated by charging no tuition for the extra year and by the provision of a limited number of stipends that can be paid to students. Approximately 15-25 students per year receive competitive one-year medical student research fellowships funded by internal and external sources. All stipends are paid directly to the student and are considered taxable income. Students in their third year of medical school are eligible to apply.
Apply for a Yale Sponsored One-Year Fellowship
To apply, students should follow the instructions found here, and complete and submit their application for a Yale sponsored one-year fellowship to OSR via Medtrics. Students must include a completed Signature Page with their application, which includes signatures from their Mentor. You can download the Signature Page here.
Important note: If you are interested in applying to any of the one year medical student research fellowships, please contact OSR at least 4 weeks before the institutional fellowship deadline as there may be additional forms that are required to be completed through Yale's Office of Sponsored Projects before the fellowship application can be submitted to the funding agency. Also, all applications require a progress letter from the academic advisor. Students should contact their academic advisor at least one month prior to the fellowship deadline.
