The Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is seeking applications for summer internship appointments for high-school students to conduct research at USU. The intent of this summer internship is to provide an opportunity for students interested in science, engineering or medical career fields to participate in research directed at improving the care of injured military service members and society at large. This mentored research experience will expose participants to ongoing efforts in integrated science, technology and engineering solutions at the nation’s premier military medical school.
What will I be doing?
The Comprehensive Student Research Training Program (CSRTP) is a 10-week training program that provides unique exposure to basic and clinical research, social/behavioral research, health policy, and research administration to high-school and college students.
Every year, students collaborate with research mentors across all of the USU research departments. Past students have explored the participating departments of Anatomy and Physiology, Surgery, Medicine, Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Microbiology, and Immunology. Those students interested in medicine have explored the participating departments of Psychiatry, Pathology, the Graduate Student Nursing Program, Preventative Medicine and Biostatistics, and the National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health.
Why should I apply?
You will have the opportunity to attend or participate in scientific and professional development seminars, field trips, laboratory experiments and observations, and research planning meetings. At the conclusion of the program, you will prepare and present abstracts on your research at the annual CSRTP poster symposium.
Where will I be located?
Bethesda, Maryland
What is the anticipated start date?
The internship has a start date of Monday, June 13, 2022, and will end on Friday, August 19, 2022. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis and internships will be filled as qualified candidates are identified.
What is the appointment length?
This appointment is a full-time 10-week research appointment, with the possibility to be renewed for additional research periods. Appointments may be extended depending on funding availability, project assignment, program rules, and availability of the participant.
What are the benefits?
You will receive a stipend to be determined by USU. Stipends are typically based on a participant’s academic standing, discipline, experience, and research facility location. Other benefits may include the following:
What is USU?
USU is the nation’s federal health professions academy — akin to the undergraduate programs of the U.S. military academies at West Point, Annapolis and Colorado Springs. Like the academies, students are not charged tuition; they repay the nation for their education through service. In many respects, our curricula and educational experiences are similar to those of civilian academic health centers, with one important difference: our emphasis on military health care, leadership, readiness and public health sets USU apart.
