The Medical Student Research Program provides eight-, 10- or 12-week awards (continuous in time) to medical students to carry out cardiovascular-related research in a strong laboratory environment.  The intent of the program is to provide medical students who are potentially interested in a research career with an opportunity to explore a research career that is broadly related to the cardiovascular area or stroke.  Applicants may propose a preceptor/project at any non-profit research institution within the Western States Affiliate (California, Nevada, Utah).  Please see the Program Description for more information.
