For those interested in research grant funding, Dartmouth has an incredible office of grant funding support that provides lists of grant opportunities, feedback on grant proposals and ways to help interface easily with the NIH.\u00a0 \u00a0This is a wonderful place to start if you are interested in writing an external grant to support your research.\u00a0 The website for this service is linked here: Grant Proposal Support Initiative (dartmouth.edu). \u00a0<\/a>This is a great website to find examples of successful NIH level grants.<\/p>\n

Grants for medical students are generally not available via the NIH.\u00a0 However, there are several grant mechanisms for medical students - see below.\u00a0 Medical student internal and external grants are a great way to obtain grant support in medical school and are generally much easier to obtain than NIH grants.<\/p>\n

IF YOU ARE APPLYING FOR ANY EXTERNAL GRANT, PLEASE NOTIFY THE OFFICE OF MEDICAL STUDENT RESEARCH BEFORE SUBMITTING THE GRANT TO MAKE SURE ALL APPROPRIATE SIGNATURE\/REGULATORY ITEMS ARE COMPLETE.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

External (Non-Dartmouth) Grants<\/strong><\/p>\n

Society Grants:<\/strong> Grant funding for medical students is often available in major disease-specific societies.\u00a0 For example the American College of Gastroenterology offers annual medical student research awards ACG Institute Research Grants & Awards | ACG<\/a>.\u00a0 Interested students should search the society home pages for your specific disease interest for medical student awards.<\/p>\n

Foundational Grants:<\/strong> Many disease-specific charitable foundations offer medical student grants. For example the National Pancreas Foundation offers medical student grants. Students should search their disease-specific research foundations for opportunities.<\/p>\n

GrantForward<\/a> is a search engine that the Dartmouth College grants office has had a contract with for years.<\/div>\n
