The primary goal of the research component of the fellowship program is high-quality scholarly activity by the fellow. The program provides the fellow with guided research training and broad exposure to research experiences during the three years of fellowship. The choice of research project must be decided by the fellow with advice and approval from the Fellowship Director and the Division Director. By the end of the first year, the fellow will have developed a research proposal. The two remaining years of fellowship will be used to execute the research proposal.
