The Doris Duke Clinical Research Fellowship (DDCRF) Program is designed to provide medical students the opportunity to take a year-long break from their formal training to explore careers in clinical research, training with mentors in virtually every clinical science department and discipline.

The primary objective of the Global Health Studies Program (GHSP) at the University of Iowa is to educate students about international health transitions occurring in the wake of dynamic environmental, political, economic, and social changes. It also aims to prepare students for occupations that demand critical interdisciplinary and international thinking skills and perspectives. The program organizes both on-campus and overseas activities for students and faculty, enabling them to gain familiarity with major issues involving global health.
The GHSP is a unique interdisciplinary and international program of study for both graduates and undergraduates. The GHSP focuses not only on the manifestations of significant diseases and clinical health services but also on the underlying forces and institutions — such as technology, politics, culture, legal structure, history, and economy — that influence health and disease patterns.
In 1997, the Iowa Board of Regents brought international research, instruction, and services together under the leadership of an associate provost and dean for International Programs (IP). The GHSP is part of the IP and functions as a catalyst for international research and a hub for international activities. The GHSP is also an institutional member of the Global Health Council, and students are eligible to enroll as associate professional members.

The National Alliance for Doctoral Studies in the Mathematical Sciences, a national community of students, faculty, and staff, states their goal simply: "We want to be sure that every underrepresented or underserved American student with the talent and the ambition has the opportunity to earn a doctoral degree in a math science." They focus on building mentoring relationships based upon a shared commitment to underserved or underrepresented math science majors interested in obtaining a doctoral degree in a math science or other quantiative field. The National Alliance is funded by a National Science Foundation grant that sponsers several programs including: Annual Alliance Conference, Alliance Summer Research Experience, and Alliance Activities Scholarship Program.
