Student Fellowship
The Petrie-Flom Center Student Fellowship is a competitive one-year program designed to support Harvard graduate students interested in pursuing independent scholarly projects related to health law policy, biotechnology, and bioethics. With intensive mentorship from Petrie-Flom Center affiliates, student fellows are expected to produce a piece of publishable scholarship by the end of the academic year, at which point they may choose to be be awarded a modest stipend and/or academic credit (based on their school's policies). Student fellows blog regularly at Bill of Health, the Center's blog, where their work receives substantial public exposure; participate in and organize Center events; and enroll in the Health Law, Policy, Bioethics, and Biotechnology Workshop, which provides the opportunity to interact with leading scholars in the field.
Applications for our 2022-2023 Student Fellowship are now closed.
The Peter Barton Hutt Student Fellow
Each year, one of our students with a focus on Food and Drug Law is named the Peter Barton Hutt Student Fellow, in honor of our friend and colleague Peter Barton Hutt. A founding father of the field and a tremendous mentor to many, Professor Hutt has taught Food and Drug Law at HLS for more than 20 years. He has practiced at the Washington, DC law firm of Covington & Burling for more than five decades, and from 1971-1975, he was Chief Counsel for the Food and Drug Administration.
In January 2013, the Petrie-Flom Center brought together many of those whom Professor Hutt has influenced over the years for a celebratory symposium. We hope you will help us continue to honor Professor Hutt by making a gift to support the Center's student fellowships, which extend Professor Hutt's excellent work in fostering student scholarship.
When making a gift, please indicate it is in Professor Hutt's honor and is to support the Petrie-Flom Center. If you have questions on how to make a gift, please call 617-495-3114 or email alumrec@law.harvard.edu.
