Eligibility and Application Process

The USciences Application Portal will open on Workday starting Wednesday, October 6, 2021 and will close on Wednesday, November 10, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EST. You may apply to multiple programs, however, a separate application is required for each program. Please search Workday for the program(s) to which you want to apply, and submit your application(s) as appropriate along with a letter of intent, curriculum vitae, a writing sample, unofficial college transcript(s), and contact information for 3 references. The letter of intent could address why you are interested in completing a fellowship, or why you are interested in a particular functional area and/or company, etc. The writing sample should showcase your individual technical skills in medical writing, such as a drug information response from class or APPEs, a newsletter article that you authored, etc. Co-authored manuscripts would not be considered since we are looking for an example of your own individual ability. Applying early is highly recommended.

Please address your letter of intent to:
