The David C. Frederick Honors College Health Science Research Fellowships will support 15 students throughout the summer 2024 term as they conduct full-time independent research under the mentorship of faculty members in any of the six schools of Pitt’s Health Sciences.

This summer, the Frederick Honors College awarded 90 fellowship and internship awards — including the prestigious Brackenridge Fellowship as well as opportunities in community research, creative arts, engineering and public service. Students from across all disciplines can apply by proposing a research topic, finding a faculty sponsor and committing to completing and presenting their research by the end of summer.

This year’s fellows and their research projects are:
