SURP Overview
As a member of the summer 2026 class, you join approximately 30 students working in our exciting academic medical environment at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and NYU Langone Health. When you are accepted into the program, you are matched with a laboratory of interest in your preferred research area. Placement ultimately depends on the availability of mentors and the appropriateness of a lab for a summer intern.
In a typical week, you spend most of your time conducting hands-on research under your research mentor’s direction in his or her lab. You also participate in weekly “Conversations with a Scientist/Physician” lunch sessions, journal clubs, and a series of Wednesday seminars followed by dinner at a local restaurant. There are also optional social activities, such as movie nights, museum tours, plays, concerts, and more.
At the end of the summer, you have the opportunity to present your research at the
Leadership Alliance National Symposium
, also known as LANS. You also give a poster presentation to the NYU Langone research community.
Accepted students receive a $5,000 payment, free housing, and reimbursement for round-trip travel expenses. You arrange for your own food and other living expenses.
We expect commitment to the program on a full-time basis for the duration of the internship. If you cannot commit for the full duration of the program, please do not apply.
