Both the Yale College Dean’s Research Fellowship and the Rosenfeld Science Scholars Program seek to promote the academic development of promising students through engagement in original scientific research and provide fellowship support for undergraduate STEM research projects.
Awardees will be selected from among currently enrolled sophomores and juniors.
Applicants may be pursuing a degree in any major offered by Yale College, but must be proposing research in the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, and computer science.
Clinical research projects will not be considered for funding.
For those interested in doing basic research in mathematics, please consider applying to the Summer Undergraduate Math Research at Yale (SUMRY) program, https://sumry.yale.edu/sumry.
Research must be 10 weeks (which should be consecutive and full-time, with no other time commitment, such as employment or courses) and supervised by a member of the Yale faculty (including the Graduate and Professional Schools), and must be conducted at Yale University. In consultation with the research mentor, students are expected to generate a well-developed proposal for a research project with substantial pedagogic and scholarly merit. Students funded by either fellowship will be invited to participate in a research symposium to be held in September 2022.
