The Howard Hughes Institute Research Fellowship for Medical Students

The Medical Fellows Program supports a year of full-time biomedical research training for medical and dental students.

Funding Sources

COS Pivot

TJU subscribes to the COS Pivot database, the most comprehensive source of funding information available on the Web. It provides leads on programs that fund training, research, travel, and conferences.

Additional Support

Grants Information Service

Through its Grants Information Service, Scott Memorial Library can help TJU students search for funding to support their research efforts and provide links to additional resources. To make an appointment for a consultation, call the Information Desk at 215-503-8150, or use the Ask a Librarian electronic reference service.
