Summer Internship in Biomedical Research (SIP) 2025

Summer Internship in Biomedical Research (SIP)

Summer programs at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offer the opportunity to spend a summer working alongside some of the world's leading scientists in an environment dedicated solely to biomedical research (At the NIH "biomedical research" includes everything from behavioral and social sciences, through biology and chemistry, to physics, mathematical modeling, computational biology, and biostatistics).

Working alongside some of the world’s best scientists isn’t something that happens every day, but that’s precisely what students will get to do by enrolling in the National Institute of Health’s Summer Internship in Biomedical Research. Internships normally begin in May or June and last a minimum of eight weeks. There are several possibilities available, including a hands-on introduction to scientific training, autonomous research and career education, and an advanced research program in which students work in a research group.
