Students selected for the USOAR award will have to commit to conduct an 8-week, fulltime (>30 hours per week) summer research program and will receive a stipend of $4,000, to be included in the financial aid package. Application is open to all first year NextGenMD students except MD/PhD. To qualify for USOAR, students should have already identified a faculty mentor and a research project and need to submit an application that includes a one-page proposal at the link below (will open in April and close mid-May). Applications will be reviewed by a committee that includes representative faculty members of UM MSOM.
At the end of the program, all USOAR students need to submit a brief progress report and participate in a poster symposium, where they will have the opportunity to share their research results and strengthen their presentation skills while engaging/networking with others. Previous research projects conducted by past USOAR cohorts, can be accessed at this link.
