Third-year student Maulik D. Majmudar of Germantown, Maryland, and second-year student Sima P. Patel of Diamond Bar, California, will be among 50 medical students from across the country who have the opportunity to become immersed in research full time. The scholars receive a stipend, subsidized housing on the NIH campus, and participate in research projects and weekly seminars during the year-long program.
