The NSCP is an academic-year (3 semesters, beginning Summer 2023), paid internship designed to provide environmental health sciences research training for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-focused undergraduate students from HBCUs, community colleges and other surrounding academic institutions, to solidly connect with NIEHS, and receive frontier level training in biomedical research. Scholars also have opportunities for personal and professional development.
Students from underrepresented groups in STEM are strongly encouraged to apply. To apply students must: (1) be a rising junior or senior at a 4--year college or university, or (2) completed an advanced number of credit hours in science and math at a nearby community college.
Scholars are paired with an NIEHS research mentor who will guide them through the scientific research process of defining a hypothesis, designing and conducting experiments to test the hypothesis, and analyzing and reporting the results. Projects will be determined by the hosting lab/Principal Investigator.
