The NIH-funded Diabetes Research Centers invite applications for the Medical Student
Research Program in Diabetes for the summer of 2010. This program is sponsored by the
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.
