Application Instructions

To apply for the Biodesign Faculty Fellowship, candidates will be asked to complete a one-page application form that asks for some general information along with short answers to the following two questions:

• Briefly describe why you are interested in becoming a Biodesign Faculty Fellow. What makes you a good fit for this for this program?
• Do you have any previous experience working on a translational research project (or other entrepreneurial activity) at Stanford or another university? If so, please briefly describe.

The completed application requires the signature of your Department Chair and then should be emailed with your CV to Meghan Stawitcke. Please note your Department Chair's signature confirms their understanding of the non-refundable department program cost.  All candidates with completed applications will be invited to a brief interview with 1-2 of our program leaders before selection decisions are announced.

Applications for the 2026-27 program are now open, with all application materials due by Monday, April 27, 2026. Thank you!
