Student Summer Opportunities just announced - Get Ready!

NIH wants to encourage students to seriously pursue research careers in health-related sciences. This is a unique opportunity for students to be a member of a research team.

If you are a high school or college student with an interest in pursuing a science lab experience this summer, you may want to look at a map of research institutions that receive NIH funding to identify institutions, and then at the database of NIH-funded projects to identify institutions that have scientific projects of interest. If an announcement appears at an institution near you, we want you to be ready.

NIH-funded institutions are in the process of requesting and potentially receiving supplements to existing NIH projects that will be dedicated to supporting these summer research experiences. When these institutions receive funds, they and/or their NIH supported investigators will begin posting opportunities. We know time is short. Please help us spread the word by sharing information with students and teachers who might be interested. We will provide additional information about these opportunities and the best ways to contact grantee institutions on this Web site as it become available.
