Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center's (HIPRC) INSIGHT Research Program for
graduate and undergraduate students is an intensive, eight-week summer
internship for undergraduate students, graduate students and first-year
medical students. INSIGHT provides paid research experience and mentorship for students
who are interested in injury research. Participants are matched to
research projects and partnered with health sciences faculty from across
the University of Washington and work alongside peers and health
professionals from an array of disciplines. Past research areas include
elucidating the risk factors and causes of injuries, injury prevention
strategies, acute and chronic care of injured patients, outcomes from
trauma, and interventions to return the injured individual to their full
potential.
Preference is given to rising Juniors and Seniors, however students from all levels will be considered. Housing, meals, and transportation are not provided, but UW offers discounted summer housing
within the dorms on campus and there is a free shuttle from campus to HIPRC. Travel reimbursement awards are available
for individuals who qualify. Participants are paid a $3,200 stipend.
