It might be winter break, but that doesn't mean you're out of the woods yet! If you're planning to attend graduate school or
medical/dental/optometry school, one of the best ways to spend your summers
during college is doing research. Most great internships have early deadlines, which means it's time to start thinking about summer plans if you haven't already.
There are so many funded summer research
internships out there – you can spend the summer at another university in the
U.S. or even travel to Japan!
All of the internships listed below are funded; that is,
some or all of your travel expenses will be covered and you will be paid a
stipend. Housing is often included as well.
Application deadlines are quickly approaching and these
internships can be highly competitive. Look into these opportunities as soon as
you can!
The Amgen
Scholars Program has host institutions in the U.S., Europe, and
Japan. Unfortunately, U.S. students are not
eligible to apply to European host institutions. Be sure to check out the
website (link above) for more information.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)
offers a Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research. Mentors select their
own interns and provide funding – it may be advisable to contact mentors you’re
interested in to let them know your application is in the system. The deadline
to apply is March 1, 2017.
Perhaps the most popular summer research internships are National Science Foundation
Research Experience for Undergraduates (NSF REU) programs. Like NIH
and Amgen, these programs are available for a number of fields other than
neuroscience, including physics, biology, and chemistry.
Several schools also have their own summer research
programs as well. This is only a partial list – be sure to explore other
options as well.
