All OU-HCOM students who will successfully complete the Year 1 medical school curriculum by the end of the spring quarter are invited to apply for the Research and Scholarly Advancement Fellowship (RSAF) program. Students must also be in good professional and judicial standing at the time of application through the completion of the program (OU-HCOM Research Day).  This nine-week summer program provides selected OU-HCOM students with an introduction to basic science and clinical research and scholarly activities under the guidance of an OU-HCOM faculty mentor.

The core of the program is a research project that each student pursues under faculty direction. Projects may encompass anything from contributing to an ongoing faculty research project in the laboratory or clinic to an original research project designed by the student. In addition to performing research, students are required to attend seminars on various research-related topics, write a research paper, and present a poster of their project at the OU-HCOM Research Day during the fall quarter following the fellowship program.

The fellowship pays $3,000 to assist fellows with living expenses over the nine-week program.  Awards will be based on the preferences of participating faculty and the availability of funds.
