2024 National Institute on Drug Abuse Summer Research Internship Program - Application Deadline
Interested in clinical research in drug abuse? Need a research opportunity for the summer that is fully funded by the National Institute of Health?
The NIDA Summer Research Internship Program (NIDA) supports all students with a focus on increasing underrepresented populations in drug abuse research. Through this program, undergraduates are introduced to the field of substance use and addiction research by participating in research internships with NIDA's distinguished 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 their research project at the end of the internship.
NIDA highly encourages those from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups, to apply for this summer research experience
