Our inaugural Summer Research Fellowship Program winners were selected from a pool of 15 highly qualified applicants. Each recipient receives a $1,000 grant for undergraduate research during their full-time summer internship in a zebrafish-focused scientific lab.

​Thanks to all of our donors who are helping to advance biomedical research in the zebrafish model, and congratulations to our 2019 winners!
