Training the Next Generation of Regulatory Science Researchers

Our fellowship program attracts scientists from diverse backgrounds who are passionate about developing novel approaches in regulatory science to improve medical product development. Fellows work with mentors at Harvard, Harvard-affiliated institutions and MIT to develop research projects focused on regulatory science challenges with broad applications to medicine and public health. A subset of our fellows partner directly with FDA scientists on high priority projects identified by the agency.

This is a 2-year fellowship based at Harvard Medical School. Applicants will engage with peers and faculty in the Harvard community and the Longwood Medical Area. Each fellow is paired with a mentor based on their background and interests to maximize opportunities to successfully pursue their research agenda. All fellows are encouraged to take advantage of the rich educational environment across our Harvard campus and contribute to the thriving regulatory science community.
