Sarnoff Fellowship for Cardiovascular Research
Purpose
The Sarnoff Fellowship Program is a prestigious year-long research fellowship for students from accredited U.S. medical schools. The program is similar to the Howard Hughes Fellowship but has a broad focus on basic and translational research in cardiovascular disease. Fellows undertake a year of funded research and have the option to extend for a second year. This is one of the most sought-after research fellowships in cardiovascular medicine and comes with the opportunity to apply for a larger fellowship grant at later post-residency stages of training.
Details
Students are encouraged to contact faculty who are Sarnoff alumni for guidance and mentorship on how to apply. UCSF Researchers Priscilla Hsue (Medicine) and Michelle Albert (Medicine) are both currently serving on the Sarnoff Scientific Committee.
