NIH Summer Research Site Opens

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has posted information on the summer laboratory experiences available to students and faculty through American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and other supplemental funding.

Scientists and institutions receiving administrative supplements to host these summer experiences have registered in a database, which is searchable by zip code.

After identifying the location and researcher of interest, students and faculty are responsible for submitting an e-mail to the contact person to initiate an application. As more awards are made, the list of available summer experiences is expected to grow, so potential participants are encouraged to check the database often.
