The application process has been intentionally designed to mimic the grant funding process of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). For students planning to apply for grants in the future, this program will provide an insight into the granting process.<\/p>\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/omsr\/resources-for-students\/research-programs\/carolina-medical-student-research-program-cmsrp-1\/cmsrp-application\/\">Apply Now<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Eligibility<\/h3>\n<p>Medical students who have completed one semester at ΄σΟσ΄«Γ½ Chapel Hill and are in good standing are eligible to apply. Most students (80%) participate in the CMSRP the summer after their first year. Students are expected to work full-time on their projects. Different funding sources have different eligibility requirements. The Office of Medical Student Research will work with students to confirm their eligibility before funds are awarded. If you have any questions about your eligibility, please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/omsr\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> and we&#8217;ll be happy to help.<\/p>\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/omsr\/resources-for-students\/research-programs\/carolina-medical-student-research-program-cmsrp-1\/eligibility-requirements\/\">Learn More<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>Students are required to participate in a series of courses and informal meetings if these are held while they are doing their research. Your specific program may stipulate other alternative training sessions if research is being conducted from September to May. <strong>All students must have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/omsr\/resources-for-students\/irb-and-iacuc\/\">IRB\/IACUC approvals<\/a> before the start of the project, with no exceptions.<\/strong> At the end of the research experience, students must submit a short report (2-3 pages) and abstract (250 words) describing their findings.<\/p>\n<a class=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg  oscitas-bootstrap-container\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/omsr\/resources-for-students\/research-programs\/carolina-medical-student-research-program-cmsrp-1\/eligibility-requirements\/\">Learn More<\/a>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Stipend<\/h3>\n<p>The stipend amount awarded depends on the funding source and the length of the proposed research project. The current average stipend amount for the NIDDK STRT grant and other funding sources for 2025 is $4.700 for an eight-week project. Each stipend will be administered in two payments, the first being a month after you start your research and the second after you have fulfilled the requirements at the end of your project.
