About These Fellowships

It is prohibited to submit more than one application to the OFP Research Fellowships for Juniors (Bates, et al.).

The proposed project must be a full-time commitment and be the primary activity for the duration of the fellowship.

Yale University policy requires that certain types of research projects involving human subjects be reviewed by an institutional review board (IRB) prior to the start of the study to ensure that the project meets University requirements and any applicable regulations. Click here to see if your project needs to be reviewed, for advice on working with human subjects, and for more information about the process and requirements. When in doubt, the HSC can provide assistance in determining if a given project must be reviewed under Yale policy. Send an email to human.subjects@yale.edu providing a brief description of your project or call 436-3650.

All interested applicants must review the Yale University International Travel Policy. Projects in specific countries within approved regions may not be eligible for funding based on current MedEx threat ratings, State Department warnings, and the Yale University International Travel Policy.
