DART Summer Research Fellowship Program

The Diversity in Addiction Research Training (DART) Program at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) offers a 10-week summer research fellowship for students interested in learning more about addiction-related research. The goal of the DART Summer Research Fellowship program is to introduce students to research, both basic science and clinical research, and afford them the opportunity to work closely with a research mentor and their investigative team. Students can gain experience collecting data, running analyses, training through weekly didactic seminars, scientific writing, and presenting their work at the annual DART Summer Research Day meeting.

The program is open to undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. Individuals from underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply (see NIH in NOT-OD-20-031).

Eligibility: Medical, Graduate, and Undergraduate Students
Duration: 10 weeks (May 22, 2023 through July 28, 2023)

Application Procedure

Spots are limited and applications are competitive. Students that are accepted into the summer program will be matched with a faculty mentor based on research interests. Thus, you do not need to identify a mentor before you apply to the DART summer program. If your application is accepted, we will identify a mentor for you, and will provide you with your mentor's name and contact information so that you may contact them and begin preparing for the summer program.

To apply, please submit the following materials

• Current Curriculum Vitae (CV)
• 1 to 2 page Letter of Interest
