DEADLINES

James D. Popp Summer Research 

JACK's Summer Scholars Program

Fellowship

Dean's Summer Research Fellowship

JACK's Summer Scholars is a summer program open to both medical and pre-medical students who are interested in conducting research related to infant and maternal health. Accepted applicants will have the opportunity to work under a faculty mentor as well as have shadowing opportunities in several pediatric subspecialties.

 

Criteria: Medical students must be in good standing at their university and have completed one year of medical school.

The James D. Popp Fellowship was created to engage first year medical students in cancer-related research during the summer following their first year of school. Accepted scholars will receive a $4000 stipend for summer living expenses as well as $1000 to attend a national scientific conference. 

​

Criteria: Applicants must have completed the first nine months of medical school and be able to articulate a compelling reason for wanting to learn more about cancer research. The award is not intended for students who have previously had extensive research experience or who have already made a commitment to research. Instead it is intended for medical students who may not have previously experienced hypothesis driven research but who, during their first year of medical school, have been awakened to the connection between research and treating or solving a perplexing clinical challenge. 

The Dean's Summer Research Fellowship is open to first year VCU medical students who are interested in conducting research over the summer. Selected students will receive a stipend of $2500 and will devote full time to their research project for a period of two months. 

​

Criteria: Students in the School of Medicine may do research with any faculty member in the school but must register and fill out an application. Fellowships are for a period of two months and are offered between the M1 and M2 years. A faculty member may sponsor only one fellowship-funded student application per year, unless a compelling justification to supervise more than one student is approved by the Senior Associate Dean for Research and Research Training.
