The Medical Student Research Program in Diabetes is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health through the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and allows medical students to conduct research under the direction of an established scientist in the areas of diabetes, hormone action, physiology, islet cell biology or obesity at an institution with one of the NIDDK-funded Research Centers during the summer between the first and second year or second and third year of medical school. The Program helps students gain an improved understanding of career opportunities in biomedical research and a comprehensive understanding of diabetes, its clinical manifestations and its unsolved problems.
