Types of Fellowships

Short-term Fellowships

  • Short-Term Fellowships: 2 or 3-month summer fellowships and 3-month quarterly fellowships for UCSF health science students.

Long-Term Fellowships

Two-Year Master's

Eligibility

UCSF applicants must be currently enrolled in the UCSF School of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry or Pharmacy and must apply through the Resource Allocation Program for Trainees (RAP'tr). Applicants must be pre-doctoral and a U.S. a citizen.

Medical students from outside of UCSF must apply through the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation application process as well as complete the supplemental UCSF application materials. These applicants must be enrolled in an accredited US Medical School. US Citizenship is not required for the Doris Duke Fellowship Program.

UCSF medical students wishing to apply for an international Doris Duke Fellowship with a UCSF Faculty mentor should apply to both the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation as well as through RAP'tr. This will increase an applicant's chance for funding.

Selection Criteria

The campus-wide Multidisciplinary Advisory Committee (AC) will review applications, research projects and mentorship and make selection decisions based on the following:

  • Personal Statement (long-term fellowships)
  • Quality of Research Plan
  • Letters of Support (long-term fellowships)
  • Mentor's Endorsement
