The goal of the CDCB Summer Research Internship program is to engage scientific curiosity in the next generation of scientists, challenging qualified college undergraduates to consider basic science research-related careers and providing them with initial experiences required to be competitive for science-related graduate eduation programs and careers in the future.

In our program, interns immerse themselves in a full-time, in-person research experience over the summer, working directly with established mentors in various fields of biomedical research. Interns will participate in a guided project facilitated by their mentor, culminating in a poster presentation where they will prepare and present their research at the program’s final poster session. The program runs Tuesday, June 7^th through Friday, August 12^th – we also offer Monday, June 20^th as a secondary start date for those unable to start earlier.
