Summer programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide an
opportunity to spend a summer working at the NIH side-by-side with some
of the leading scientists in the world, in an environment devoted
exclusively to biomedical research (At the NIH "biomedical research"
includes everything from behavioral and social sciences, through biology
and chemistry, to physics, mathematical modeling, computational
biology, and biostatistics).
Internships cover a minimum of eight weeks, with students generally
arriving at the NIH in May or June. The NIH Institutes/Centers and the
Office of Intramural Training & Education (OITE) sponsor a wide
range of summer activities including an orientation to help interns get
off to a good start, lectures featuring distinguished NIH investigators,
career/professional development workshops, and Summer Poster Day.
Applications are due on March 1, 2020, but selections are made on a rolling basis so students are encouraged to apply early. To learn more, visit their website: NIH Summer Internship Program.
