Announcing the 2026-2027 ASCI PSSF Fellows

The American Society for Clinical Investigation is proud to announce our 2026-2027 ASCI PSSF Fellows

The ASCI PSSF Fellowship provides a fully funded medical school gap-year opportunity for single degree medical students to engage in rigorous, immersive training with exemplary research mentors. Fellowships are awarded based on the applicant’s potential to maintain their research trajectory and become a physician-scientist.

Our 5 ASCI PSSF Fellows were drawn from an exceedingly talented group of candidates nominated by their medical school dean. Click here to learn more about the awardees listed below.

The ASCI PSSF Fellowship includes:

  • A $42,000 stipend and an additional allowance of $8,000 for health insurance and travel expenses.
  • Complimentary registration, and inclusive program access, and the opportunity to present a poster at the 2027 AAP/ASCI/APSA Joint Meeting.
  • 1:1 quarterly conversations with PSSF Advisory Committee mentors.
  • Monthly seminars with mentors and special guest speakers.
  • Leadership Development training.
  • Access to ASCI’s virtual community programming including bi-monthly scientific seminars led by ASCI members and additional networking, enrichment, and career development activities.

The ASCI PSSF Fellowship is an integral part of the Society’s continuum of educational programming, and meaningfully connects Fellows to a network of peers, near peers, and established colleagues.
