GCSoM Student Research Awards (SRAs)

The Office of Research and Scholarship is pleased to announce the availability of funds for the 2022 academic year to support student research projects in the areas of basic or clinical science, public/community health, behavioral health, and medical education research. The proposed project must be under the supervision of a faculty mentor and be endorsed by the Office of Research and Scholarship. The proposed project period must be no longer than 6 months and conclude by Dec. 1, 2022. The maximum award for each project is $2,000. Funds cannot be requested for stipends, tuition, travel, or wages for the student or faculty mentor. Indirect costs to the sponsoring institution are not allowed. SRAs are intended to foster student scholarship and lead to a tangible deliverable such as an abstract for submission to a regional/national meeting or a manuscript for publication in SCRIP and/or a peer-reviewed journal. SRA applications will be due May 2, 2022, at 11:59 PM ET. If you are interested in applying, contact Tracey Pratt, MPH, or StudentResearch@som.geisinger.edu.
