Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research
The goal of the Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research at NHLBI
is to expose
students to research investigation in a highly enriched
environment that is devoted exclusively to biomedical research and
training. The Program is open to high school and college, graduate
or Medical and
Dental Students.
Participants join a research laboratory for a minimum of ten weeks
between June and August and conduct research in selected areas of
investigation under the guidance of an NHLBI intramural research scientist.
To augment the training experience, students participate in a Seminar
Series at the NHLBI, as well as the National Institutes of Health
Summer Seminar Series and Summer Research Program Poster Day.
Applicants must be either US citizens or permanent residents and
be currently enrolled full-time in high school, college,
professional or graduate
school with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. College graduates
are eligible for the summer between graduation and beginning either
graduate or professional school. High school students should be
at least 16 years of age prior to June 1. Applications must
be submitted online using the link for provided for
