The NIH-funded Diabetes Research Centers invite applications for the Medical Student

National Institutes of Health through the NIDDK and allows medical students to conduct

research under the direction of an established scientist in the areas of diabetes, hormone

action, physiology, islet cell biology, clinical investigation or obesity at an institution with one of

16 NIDDK-funded Diabetes and Endocrinology Research Centers (DERC) or Diabetes

Research and Training Centers (DRTC) during the summer between the first and second year

or second and third year of medical school. Prior research experience is not required. The

program provides a stipend.

We ask that you distribute this information to your first-year and second-year medical students.
