Funding opportunities

成人直播 COM students can apply for funding to conduct research projects through either the 成人直播 COM Dean鈥檚 office (Peter Morgane Student Research Fellowship) or the 成人直播 COM SGA (Carmen Pettapiece Student Research Fellowship). These are great opportunities if you wish to participate and obtain experience in biomedical, clinical, experiential, or translational research either at 成人直播 or at other locations. Research projects can have a basic science, community health, clinical, and/or osteopathic orientation. Applications are evaluated through respective review processes and selections are made accordingly.
