Dean's Student Summer Research Program Application Guidelines
Application Deadline: February 5, 2010
All DSRF recipients must submit a 300 word structured abstract (Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results, Summary/Discussion) at the conclusion of the study to the DSRF Chair by August 13, 2010.
General Information
1. The Dean’s Student Summer Research Fellowship (DSRF) Program is aimed primarily at students who have completed their first year of medical school. Students in more senior years may apply if their schedules allow. All students are required to be in good academic standing in order to accept the summer fellowship.
No course credit is given for this program.
Faculty advisors must be faculty in the School of Medicine — not collaborators at other institutions. Students may work with external collaborators but primary responsibility for the project must reside with an MCG School of Medicine
faculty member.
Faculty advisors may sponsor more than one applicant but no more than one summer fellow will be awarded for each faculty advisor.
Many applications are based on faculty mentor's existing grants. It is important for students to demonstrate what level of involvement they had with writing project summary. The student should write the application with advice and critique from the faculty advisor. The application should not be written by the faculty advisor or transposed from a previously existing grant application.
All DSRF recipients must submit a 300 word structured abstract (Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results, Summary/Discussion) at the conclusion of the study to the DSRF Chair by August 14, 2009.
Upon notification that a project has been funded, the student faculty advisor should contact the appropriate approval committee (HAC, CAURE, etc.) to determine the information needed to ensure review and approval. Mary Anne Park, who can be reached at 1-0193, will assist with this.
The Office of Grants and Contracts verifies all institutional approvals prior to the start of the research project. The Chair of the DSRF program will inform Grants and Contracts of sponsored project. Mary Anne Park, who can be reached at 1-0193 will assist with this.
2. This Program does not cover travel funds for student fellows.
Application Requirements
A. Submit one printed original application, two additional print copies and one electronic copy to Dr. Ralph Gillies, DSRF Committee Chair at HB-3041, Medical College of Georgia rgillies@mcg.edu
Each applicant will write a brief personal statement (one page) identifying their goals for the summer program and future aspirations in research.
B. For students who are awarded a fellowship, Mary Anne Park will provide Kelly Callaway in the School of Medicine Office of Operations with a copy of their signature page and the summary page of their application that contains the project title. Kelly in turn will prepare one Intramural Routing Form and send it to the Division of Sponsored Program Administration (DSPA) for processing the overall project once all compliance issues (eg human/animial subject approvals, biohazards/radiation/chemical safety clearances) have been addressed.
C. REQUIRED INSTITUTIONAL APPROVALS IF PROJECT INVOLVES:
1. Human Subjects - HUMAN SUBJECTS APPROVAL - HAC approval letter and Stamped Informed Consent document, if consent is required.
2. Animal Use - ANIMAL USE APPROVAL - Attach copy of IACUC approval letter.
3. Chemical Hazards - INSTITUTIONAL CHEMICAL COMMITTEE (ICC) APPROVAL - All Applicants must have an ICC Authorization Number if project involves the use of chemicals from the MCG List of High Hazard Chemicals
