the Strauss Fellow on the campus of a major non-profit medical

projects would benefit from the Strauss Fellow's presence in a
contemporary medical center.The 2023-2024 Strauss Fellowship is two
months in duration, with flexible start and end dates during the
2023-2024 academic year. It provides $4,000 in funding per month

maximum of $1,000 to offset travel and transportation expenses. The
outstanding candidate chosen as the next Strauss Fellow will
