Research Training Fellowships 
for Medical Students 
To strengthen and expand the pool of medically 
trained researchers, the Research Training Fellow- 
ships for Medical Students Program was launched in 
the fall of 1988. The program enables selected ap- 
plicants who have developed an interest in funda- 
mental research during the course of their medical 
studies to spend an intensive research year in a labo- 
ratory. Complementing the HHMI-NIH Research 
Scholars Program located in Bethesda, the grants pro- 
gram provides opportunities for up to 60 fellows 
each year to engage in full-time research at any medi- 
cal school, university, or not-for-profit research in- 
stitute in the United States except NIH. 
On the basis of review by a panel of eminent aca- 
demic scientists and physicians, the Institute named 
60 new medical student fellows in the 1 992 compe- 
tition. In addition, four of the 1991 fellows were 
awarded support for a second year of research. The 
fellows, drawn from 22 medical schools, are pursu- 
ing their research training at 18 academic institu- 
tions in the United States. The award provides a sti- 
pend to the fellow, a research allowance for the 
student's mentor, and an allowance to the fellow- 
ship institution. 
In addition, 22 of the 1991 fellows and Research 
Scholars were selected for up to two years of fellow- 
ship support upon return to their medical studies. 
Fifteen continued fellows selected the prior year 
will receive a second year of such continued sup- 
port. For the continued fellows, the Institute pro- 
vides stipends and an education allowance to their 
medical schools to help cover tuition and other 
expenses. 
Support for medical student fellows, including 
both initial awards and continued awards, during 
fiscal year 1992 totaled over $2 million.
