I’m pleased to inform you that the NIH, NIDDK Office of Minority Health
Research Coordination, is now accepting applications for the NIDDK/OMHRC
Undergraduate Summer Internship Program (SIP). The website for the
on-line application is: http://SIP.niddk.nih.gov. Deadline is February 15, 2011.
The NIDDK/OMHRC SIP is specific to those that are underrepresented
minorities: African American, Hispanic American, Native American, Alaska
Native, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders. Successful
applicants will join one of NIDDK’s research laboratories in Bethesda,
Maryland or Phoenix, Arizona, for ten weeks beginning in June through the
first week of August. Students will receive $2,500 stipend for the 10
weeks, housing and round-trip travel expense to the NIH.
The purpose is to expose student participants to research in the NIDDK
mission areas, including diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, nutrition,
obesity, and digestive, liver, urologic, kidney, and hematologic
diseases. The goal of this program is to increase the number of
underrepresented minority and disadvantaged students in the research
pipeline who are committed to a career in biomedical, behavioral,
clinical, or social science research in the NIDDK mission areas.
Please feel free to contact Winnie Martinez should you have any questions or require
additional information.
