Scholarship for PhD to MD

Curious to know whether any schools offer scholarship opportunities for PhDs going into Medical School who have an interest in being involved with research. I know that PhD holders are not eligible for MSTP funding typically available to MD/PhD students. Are there other sources of funding for those who could make scientific contributions during their training?

No. You're going to medical school to learn to be a physician, not to do research. Ditto for residency. Tell adcoms or residency program directors that you want to focus on research during your clinical training at your own peril.
