Dental Research Fellowship Program

The UCLA Dental Research Fellowship Program is a gateway for UCLA dental students interested in scientific explorations to participate in mentored research. With a wide range of exciting

 research topics under investigation at the School of Dentistry, students in the program can conduct one of four types of research: literature review, basic science research, public and population health research, or clinical research.

Through this enriching and collaborative experience, students will acquire laboratory skills, understand the research process, increase their knowledge in the field of research, develop problem-solving skills, and be inspired to pursue a career in academia and advance oral health through research. Selected student fellows will receive a one-time stipend and a research supplement to help support their research endeavors. Funding is generously provided by the School of Dentistry and the Apollonian Society.
