    About the Program

    The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) is sponsoring a Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program (BESIP) for undergraduate biomedical engineering students who have completed their junior year of college. This ten week program, from June 1 through August 7, 2009, allows rising senior 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 a separate program from the NIH Summer Internship Program (SIP) in Biomedical Research.

    Selected by a nationwide competition, the 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 last year's projects can be found at Projects 2008.

    Visit the Archive to view previous years' interns, their mentors and projects.
