These awards will support the work of four MIT engineering students who wish to focus their PhD studies on healthcare research.The MIT/CIMIT Medical Engineering Fellowship offers support in the highly innovative yet classically under-funded areas of:
- Medical device development
- New algorithms
- Software for use in clinical practices, and
- The engineering of medical environments
The fellowship can support work in any of these exciting areas.
Each fellowship award is for 9 months of stipend and tuition (for the period 1/16/11-5/30/11 and 9/1/11- 1/15/12), plus $500 for travel to present at a national society meeting; renewal in the second year is possible upon review.
Nominations (maximum of 3 candidates from each department) must be submitted by the Department/Division Head and include:
- One letter of recommendation from the student’s research advisor or another faculty member familiar with the student’s talents and interests;
- Student’s CV; and
- Personal statement (a one-page student written description of his/her research interests)
Candidate requirements:
- Graduate student must be in 2nd or 3rd year
- Academic excellence
- Willingness to collaborate; and
- Strong desire to solve complex medical engineering problems
The Dean will submit a ranked, short list of candidates to the MIT/CIMIT Medical Engineering Fellowship
