“Program Overview:
The NIDA Summer Research Internship Program supports all students with a focus on increasing underrepresented populations in drug
abuse and addiction research. Through this program, undergraduate students age 18 years and older are introduced to the field of drug abuse and addiction research by participating in research internships with NIDA funded scientists at universities across the United States. Students work with leading scientists for eight weeks during the summer. The internship may include laboratory experiments, data collection, data analysis, formal courses, participation in lab meetings, patient interviews, manuscript preparation and literature reviews. In addition, it is expected that each intern will deliver a formal presentation on his/her research project at the end of the internship.
Eligibility:
This NIDA Summer Research Internship Program is designed to train individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups underrepresented in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences research workforce, to conduct research and to prepare for careers in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical and social sciences….”
