National
Institutes of Health (NIH) Internship Program
Summer programs
at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provide an opportunity
to spend a summer working side-by-side with some of the leading
scientists in the world, in an environment devoted exclusively
to biomedical research. The NIH consists of the new 240-bed Mark
O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center and more than 1200 laboratories
located on the main campus in Bethesda, MD and in other cities.
For trainees on the
main campus, the Office of Intramural Training & Education
sponsors a wide range of summer activities including a lecture
series featuring distinguished NIH investigators, informal lunchtime
talks on training for research careers, and a trainee poster day.
The office also makes available information about housing in the
area. The NIH provides additional opportunities such as the Science
in the Cinema series.
The Summer
Internship Program is for students who will be sixteen years of
age or older at the time they begin the program and who are currently
enrolled at least half-time in high school or an accredited U.S.
college or university. Students who have been accepted into a

candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Awards cover a minimum
of eight weeks, with students generally arriving at the NIH in
May or June.
