TUSOM students have plenty of opportunities available for getting involved in research. The most important step in the process is to connect with a faculty mentor. This page is designed to help you do that! Generally speaking, the best time to focus on a research project is during the summer between your T1 & T2 year, since you have plenty of time to do so. However, you can get involved with research at any time during your medical education.
You may want to familiarize yourself with common ETHICAL ISSUES in research before starting any project.
If you are a T1, and would like to get involved in summer research IN NEW ORLEANS, please check out these funded opportunities:
If you would like to get involved in research, please see "Basic/Bench Research," "Clinical/Translational Research," "Population/Public Health Research," or "Call for Student Researchers" on this page.
Students interested in basic/bench research should contact Dr. Derek Pociask for more information.
More information on research conducted in these areas can be found here.
Student must watch the following video prior to seeking a clinical/translational research opportunity
Students interested in clinical/translational research should consult the list of recommended faculty mentors below. Please contact the faculty member in charge of the project you are interested in directly. Contact Dr. Vivian Fonseca for more information.
More information on research conducted in these areas can be found here. A list of recommended faculty mentors and their areas of research is also available here.

ASPIRE Request for Applications
We are currently accepting applications for the ASPIRE (Acquiring Skills and Practice in Research Excellence) program. This is a competitive program which provides stipends for students to conduct research in the summer between their T1 and T2 years. These stipends require a minimum 8-week commitment to full-time research at Tulane University School of Medicine, Tulane National Primate Research Center or the undergraduate Tulane campus. In addition to research, students will attend weekly didactic sessions that will cover topics such as research integrity, animal care and use, protection of human subjects, and proposal preparation. Students are required to attend at least 6 of the 8 sessions. Students will write and submit an abstract and present their research in one of the required didactic sessions.

Dear Colleague,
Cleveland Clinic offers scholarships to increase representation of medical students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in medicine. Scholarship recipients participate in a four-week clinical rotation to learn firsthand what it is like to be a resident at Cleveland Clinic and to learn about our values.
During the four-week clinical rotation, the students spend time with the teams that care for patients on either outpatient or inpatient clinical services. Each student is paired with an advisor/mentor who provides career guidance.
Nearly two dozen GME residency programs and a pharmacy residency program are available for clinical rotations. Students can rank up to three clinical specialties for their rotation.
Up to 10 scholarships are awarded annually. In addition, each of the recipients receives a $2,500 stipend and free on-campus housing.
We encourage you to share this opportunity broadly with students, faculty and community leaders. Details about this scholarship opportunity, including eligibility, are available by visiting the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine Elective Program website.

The Clinical Neuroscience Research Center (CNRC) led by Dr. Gregory Bix, MD, PhD is seeking motivated medical students for summer research. The CNRC was recently established at Tulane with the overall mission of developing novel therapies for stroke, dementia, traumatic brain injury, and more recently SARS-CoV-2 and to translate these therapies from “bench to bedside” to improve patient outcomes.
Having research experience is a great way to distinguish yourself as you move forward in your medical career, and your background as a medical student would be valued in the lab.
We have both REMOTE and IN-PERSON opportunities available, ranging from literature reviews to benchwork, for as little as a single week or as much as the entire summer. Successful participants will be able to produce or be included on either a poster or publication to be presented at a local or national conference, and list on their CV that they are a "CNRC Scholar".
If you are interested, please reach out with a short description of what you can offer in terms of skills and time commitment (a resume or CV is also preferred) to gtalkington@tulane.edu and tgressett@tulane.edu.
Warm Regards,
