The Student Summer Service Fellowship is intended to provide students an opportunity to design and implement a service project addressing a public health need in an underserved community or population. The Foundation's goal is to provide an opportunity for students to work directly with patients and to become more compassionate, relationship-centered physicians. Sample projects include providing breast screenings at homeless shelters, creating an educational video for elderly patients on safety issues, and carrying out AIDS/HIV education among recent Chinese immigrants.
The Student Summer Research Fellowship grants are modeled on NIH short-term training grants, but are awarded for research in community health and cultural competency issues, rather than laboratory work. The student is expected to work full time with a mentor on a project that has the potential to be on-going. A final report is due at the conclusion of the ten weeks. The first half of the grant funds are sent upon Foundation acceptance of the student's proposal and receipt of a signed grant agreement from the school. The balance is sent upon receipt of the student's final report.
