Greetings life science researchers!
Next Gen Scientists Foundation (registered under the Trust act of India 1882) offers an opportunity to fund internships for undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to gain research experience in life sciences. Interns will conduct independent research under the mentorship of Principal Investigator of their interest at select Indian institutes. This year, we will continue to accept applications for remote internships in Computational Biology, in addition to the usual on-site internships. However, please note that remote interns will comprise a maximum of 20% of the final selected cohort. NGS interns can apply to get their final year thesis projects funded starting 2024.
Application opens: December 1st, 2022
Application closes: March 1st, 2023
Internship period: May to August 2023(upto 3 months)
Eligibility:
Applicants will be deemed eligible if the following conditions are satisfied:
- Be interested in undertaking a life science-associated internship for a period of two (minimum of 56 days) or three (minimum of 84 days) months
- Be a student in the (i) 2nd year of a 3-year undergraduate program or (ii) 2nd /3rd year of a 4-year undergraduate program or (iii) 1st year of a 2-year masters program or (iv) 2nd /3rd /4th year of a 5-year integrated program at an Indian institute

Students receiving financial assistance from the principal investigator and/or any other agencies (KVPY, INSA, JNCASR, IIT, IISER) cannot get additional support from the program. NGSF does not support internships where interns have to pay a fee to gain experience. Funds from the program are meant to support interns in traditional unpaid internships without fees.
