Research in Addiction Medicine Scholars (RAMS) Program Application

Application materials will be accepted until September 26, 2023. After you submit your application, you will automatically receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, that means your application was NOT submitted and we did not receive it. Please ensure all required fields are filled out and resubmit your application.

 

You must be an Addiction Medicine or Addiction Psychiatry fellow in a 1- or 2-year program (or equivalent) at the time this application is submitted. If you are a fellow in a 1-year program, please describe in your application what your plans are post-fellowship, as RAMS is a 2-year program. 

 

RAM Scholar Application Guidelines

The RAMS Program requires the Scholar attend the Boston Retreat along with a Faculty Mentor from one’s institution. Please ensure your Faculty Mentor completes an accompanying application by the deadline.

Relate your interest in addiction medicine and research to your previous training, Fellowship plans, your career aspirations, and how you will apply the knowledge gained through your research in the RAMS Program.

b.) A description of a research project that incorporates addiction medicine and that you plan to undertake during your fellowship. This description should include the project aims, research question, methods, and potential implications.

(3) A letter of nomination from your Fellowship Program Director, detailing the percentage of time in fellowship dedicated to research, and

(4) Ensure that your mentor completes the online mentor application.  *Note: If your Fellowship Program Director is also your mentor, only one letter is needed.*
