NIA Intramural Research Program Summer Research Opportunities

Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research

The Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research offers a unique opportunity for high school, college and graduate students to develop skills in scientific research. In this program, students receive hands-on experience. Summer internships generally last from eight to ten weeks, beginning in late May and ending in mid-to-late August. Some flexibility exists to accommodate individual student needs. To be eligible for this program, students must be enrolled at least half-time in an accredited U.S. high school, college, or university. In addition, candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and at least 16 years of age. Students can apply for the program electronically at the NIH Research and Training web site http://www.training.nih.gov/student/sip/. Under Institute/Center preference (item no. 9), select the National Institute on Aging (Baltimore or Bethesda). After you submit the application, please send an email to the NIA Summer Program Office, niasummer@mail.nih.gov, to let them know that you have applied to the NIA Summer Program.
