Stanford Pathology residents have successfully competed for and received significant extramural funding for research. Major funding sources include the NIH and NSF. The Department guarantees up to three-years of research funding for AP only or CP only residents pursuing an investigative career. The resident and her/his mentor are expected to seek outside (e.g., NIH K08, etc.) support for the research program. Until the external award is received, or if the external award does not provide salary support at the equivalent PGY level plus the standard housing benefit (see below), then the Department will supplement the resident's salary to that level. The Department will assist our residents in finding a suitable laboratory at Stanford for their research training; this laboratory may be either within or outside of the Department of Pathology.
