Summer Internships at NHGRI/NIH
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Summer Internship Program offers high school, college and graduate students an extraordinary opportunity to perform biomedical research at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI).
Students work in laboratories along side some of the world's most accomplished scientists. Participants can also attend a summer seminar series, where senior NIH investigators present their research and discuss the latest developments in biomedicine.
The program immerses students in a unique environment devoted exclusively to biomedical research and training of the highest standards. To learn more about the laboratories and investigators at NHGRI, visit the pages of our Division of Intramural Research.
Students earn a monthly stipend, which varies according to the individual's educational level. Students are responsible for their own travel expenses and housing arrangements. Some local university housing options [training.nih.gov] may be available to students.
To be eligible, students must:
- Be enrolled at least half-time in high school, college or graduate school. Graduating seniors must provide evidence that they have been admitted to an institution at the next educational level - e.g., an acceptance letter to college or graduate school.
- Be either citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
- Be at least 16 years of age.
Deadline
Applications must be received by March 1.
