Hey guys, I thought it would be helpful if med students interested in Dermatology knew of all the possible research opportunities (besides Doris Duke, NIH, etc.). Maybe we could start a list:

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES
Introduction
As future physicians, it's important to have a research background. Research allows clinicians to engage in innovative research practices and exposes clinicians to the scientific method. There is always a need for more physician scientists. In particular, the field of dermatology is a research oriented field. Research is an essential component of the mission statement for the American Academy of Dermatologists: "Promoting leadership in dermatology and excellence in patient care through education, research and advocacy." Below is a list of many research opportunities for medical students. Please take check out the following websites and check out any research opportunities at your institutions.
Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP):
The Clinical Research Training Program (CRTP) for Medical and Dental Students is a 12-month program designed to attract the most creative, research-oriented medical and dental students to the intramural campus of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. Participants, known as Fellows, spend a year engaged in a mentored clinical or translational research project in an area that matches their personal interests and goals.

Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship for Medical Students:
The Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship (CRF) provides support for one year of full-time clinical research training. The main goal of the program is to encourage medical students to pursue careers in clinical research. Interested medical students must be willing to take a year out from school and conduct fellowship research and training at one of 12 hosting medical schools.

Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars Program:
This program provides support for graduate-level clinical research activities at the international sites, as well as a stipend for an international graduate student to work alongside the U.S. trainee during the clinical research year. Scholars work at sites that are equipped with the following: an FIC international training grant and an National Institutes of Health (NIH) clinical research grant; strong ethical review and oversight of clinical research; committed interest and expertise in mentoring students; appropriate research facilities; and suitable infrastructure arrangements for housing, food, and transportation.
