Students should submit short-term research funding applications to the OSR via Medtrics by the deadlines listed below. Students who are unable to meet a stated deadline are required to submit a completed Short Term Funding Deadline Extension Request Form to the OSR at least one week in advance of the relevant deadline. Only students who meet the conditions specified, which align with YSM educational policies, qualify for consideration of extension.

Applications, or extension requests, received by the OSR after a deadline will not be considered.

For students planning to apply for short-term funding for international research, please contact the OSR at least 60 days in advance of the research period deadline. This ensures that students conducting international research receive the necessary support. Additionally, students planning to conduct international research must contact the YSM Global Health Program (global.health@yale.edu) at least six months before travel to receive guidance on pre-departure planning. OSR funding for international research is contingent upon verification that the student has contacted the Global Health Program and is receiving the required support.

It is important that you read the requirements carefully for each fellowship, as they have different eligibility requirements and deadlines. Students can also visit the Yale Center for International and Professional Experience to find a searchable database of fellowships and funding.

Important Note: If you are planning to apply for a short term fellowship at an outside institution or organization, and you will receive funding from a source outside of Yale, you must inform your faculty mentor. Your faculty mentor will need to work with their business office in order to process the application. Please notify your faculty mentor at least 10 days prior to the application due date as there may be additional forms required by Yale's Office of Sponsored Projects.
