The residency program offers a “research track” funded in part by an R25 Research Education Grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. For many residents interested in global mental health research, their program’s R25-funded research track serves as a source of the protected time and funding described in the table.
All UMMS residents are eligible to apply for the UMMS Global Health Scholars Program, which includes two years of coursework leading to a Masters of Science in Clinical Investigation degree and 1–2 months of global health fieldwork.
