Summer Program in Obesity, Diabetes and Nutrition Research Training (SPORT)
The University of Maryland School of Medicine’s SPORT program offers an exciting opportunity for medical students to engage in a 10 week program of mentored research training. Sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), this program offers medical students the opportunity to conduct basic science or clinical research in the areas of obesity, diabetes, nutrition and related diseases. While the fellowship guidelines say the program is 10 weeks, we have checked and they will permit Penn students to participate, even though our summer break is closer to 8 weeks. For more information and to apply, visit the SPORT website.
