In a partnership of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, and the National Institue of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), a Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program (BESIP) is being offered at the NIH. This ten week summer program (June 6 through August 12, 2005), formerly sponsored by the Whitaker Foundation, allows undergraduate biomedical engineering students to participate, under the mentorship of world class scientists in cutting edge biomedical research projects in NIH laboratories in Bethesda, Maryland. Please note: the BESIP is separate program from the NIH Summer Internship Program (SIP) in Biomedical Research.

Selected by a nationwide competition, the twelve to sixteen interns will have the opportunity to indicate preferences from a list of available NIH projects that involve areas of engineering or physical science expertise.  The students will participate in group meetings, attend planned lectures and laboratory visits, and be encouraged to submit posters to the NIH Poster Day where summer interns from all disciplines present their projects.

A listing of the projects that were offered last year can be found at Projects 2003.
