UNECOM Research Fellowship Information

The University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine anticipates funding up to 9 medical student research projects starting summer 2008.  Research projects can have an applied, basic science, community health, clinical or osteopathic orientation.  Students who have a project or an area of interest in mind should contact an appropriate UNECOM faculty member to discuss and finalize a proposal.  Projects may be supervised by any faculty member at UNE, and can last no more than 1 calendar year.  If the applicant chooses a project outside of UNE, a UNE faculty advisor should also be identified in order to ensure that institutional guidelines are followed.
