During the Discovery Phase, students are matched with a Emory University faculty mentor to work together on a hypothesis-driven research project, based on the interest of the student and the expertise of the mentor. The majority of students are engaged in projects that are part of the ongoing research of Emory faculty; however, students may choose to undertake research experiences elsewhere, either within the U.S. or abroad. The research project may draw from a wide variety of areas, such as clinical, basic or translational research, medical history, and health policy.
