2017 Summer Students
Applying to Summer Internship Programs
Students in high school, college, graduate, or professional school are eligible for either of two summer programs at NIDA IRP:
For both programs, you must be
- at least 16 years old before the internship begins
- a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- enrolled at least half-time in high school, college, graduate, medical, or dental school or accepted into college or graduate school
Applications for the SIP must be submitted online between November 15 and March 1. When the application is complete, it enters a database and is available to all NIH investigators. Early applications are encouraged because most investigators begin searching for students in January. Contacting individual investgators is strongly encouraged. For further information about the SIP, you can contact Rolanda Morris at 443-740-2358 or OECD@nih.gov
Summer Internship at NIDA IRP
Your summer experience begins with several days of orientation, during which you get your NIH badge and hear about the educational opportunities available over the summer (see below). Most of your time will be spent working with a scientist on a research project. In early August, you will have the opportunity to present your research findings in the form of a poster.
