Description
The American Sexually Transmitted Diseases Association (ASTDA) Summer Research Fellowship supports mentored research on sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and sexual health during a three- to four-month academic summer break. It provides protected time for graduate and professional students and postdoctoral trainees to pursue a focused project while exploring or advancing a research career in the field.
The program emphasizes professional development, scientific rigor, methodological skills, and mentoring relationships that extend beyond the summer. Established investigators provide structured guidance and receive an honorarium recognizing their contribution. Through these trainee–mentor partnerships, ASTDA aims to foster scientific knowledge, develop leadership, and improve practice in STI and sexual health research.
