Summer Research Fellowship | UVM Cancer Center | The University of Vermont(title)

Through this program, students receive a stipend of $4,000 to conduct cancer-related basic, clinical/translational, or population science research working with a UVM Cancer Center researcher.

This program offers students a broad spectrum of cancer research opportunities in disciplines ranging from surgery, pharmacology, and radiation oncology to biochemistry, pathology, and psychiatry. The summer research program culminates in an end-of-program poster session where students can share their work with UVM staff, faculty and students. Each mentor also receives up to $1,000 to use for project-related expenses.  

Graduate and medical students are eligible for the Juckett Scholar Award. Two awardees are selected based on their application scores. Juckett Scholars receive an additional $1,000 stipend ($5,000 total) and have additional opportunities to present their research to UVM Cancer Center affiliated groups, such as the Juckett Foundation.
