Sarnoff Fellowship Program

The Sarnoff Fellowship Program offers medical students enrolled in accredited U.S. medical schools the opportunity to spend a year conducting intensive work in a biomedical research facility in the United States. During the year in the laboratory, the Sarnoff Fellow will undertake their own research project and assume responsibility for it from inception to completion. The Fellow is expected to develop the hypothesis and specific aims of the project, participate in experimental design, carry out appropriate experiments, interpret data with guidance from their Preceptor, and prepare an original manuscript for submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Each Fellow presents their results at the Sarnoff Foundation's Annual Scientific Meeting and at appropriate national meetings. Fellows are selected on the basis of a national competition, with the Foundation seeking individuals with demonstrated intellectual and academic achievement, as well as leadership ability.
