CIH Fellows in Community and Social Medicine is an eight-week summer research program that provides 15 students with a structured opportunity to investigate issues in community health, social sciences, and the social context of health and medicine. Fellows are awarded a $4,000 stipend for the summer to conduct research.
The goals of the research projects vary in nature – some are based in the UChicago hospital system, while others are based within the broader Chicago community.
