Application Procedure:
Candidates must
apply online
. The application is available from Mid-November to Mid-February.
Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research (SIP)
For complete information about the program and to apply, please visit the NIH
Summer Internship Program
website.
The
Summer
Internship
Program
at NIEHS is part of the
National Institutes of Health Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research (NIH SIP)
. NIEHS is located in
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina
. Scientists at NIEHS are committed to sharing with students and educators the intensity, excitement, sense of discipline, and tremendous satisfaction that careers in science can impart to those who pursue them.
The Summer Internship Program provides internships to outstanding undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing careers in the biomedical/biological sciences to work on a research project that entails exposure to the latest biochemical, molecular, and analytical techniques in a given field.
The research mentoring experience is supplemented by a series of seminars and workshops featuring some of the institute’s leading researchers and staff that provide participants with a good overview of environmental health sciences. There is also a poster session at the end of the summer (usually the last week of July) where participants display the results of their research efforts and respond to questions as they would when participating in a national scientific meeting.
"I really enjoyed getting to have so much freedom with designing and conducting my own project, and I enjoyed getting to know so many people and getting the chance to learn from all of them. The poster session was great - it was set up nicely and went very well. Overall it is a very good program with invaluable experiences for us." - Undergraduate Junior
Scientific disciplines encompassed by the program include:
bioinformatics
biophysics
cancer biology
clinical research
computer modeling
DNA repair
epidemiology
gene regulation
genetics
molecular toxicology
neuroscience
pharmacology
pulmonary biology
reproductive and developmental biology
risk assessment
signal transduction
statistics
Participants are expected to work a minimum of 8 continuous weeks, full-time between
May and September
. It is preferred whenever possible that interns work the months of June and July including the last week of July to participate in the poster session.
