We estimate the nuclear medium modifications of the quark contribution to thebound nucleon spin sum rule, J^{q*}, as well as the separate helicity, \Delta\Sigma*, and the angular momentum, L^{q*}, contributions to J^{q*}. For thecalculation of the bound nucleon generalized parton distributions (GPDs), weuse as input the bound nucleon elastic form factors predicted in thequark-meson coupling model. Our model for the bound nucleon GPDs is relevantfor incoherent deeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS) with nuclear targets.We find that the m5Aedium modifications increase J^{q*} and L^{q*} and decrease\Delta \Sigma* compared to the free nucleon case. The effect is large andincreases with increasing nuclear density \rho. For instance, at\rho=\rho_0=0.15 fm^{-3}, J^{q*} increases by 7%, L^{q*} increases by 20%, and\Delta \Sigma* decreases by 17%. These in-medium modifications of the boundnucleon spin properties may be understood qualitatively in terms of theenhancement of the lower component of the quark Dirac spinor in the nuclearmedium.
