The CHORI Summer Student Research Program (SSRP) provides unique research training opportunities for high school and college students from under-represented backgrounds interested in careers within science and medicine. The program is a 9-week full-time internship during the summer that will immerse students into active biomedical, clinical, or behavioral programs, supplemented with lectures from leading researchers and group discussions on medical ethics, cultural competency, and career planning. Students will work one-on-one with a scientific mentor on independent research projects, culminating in public presentation of their work to the local scientific community. Peer support, networking, and other enrichment opportunities will be offered all within a friendly and nurturing environment. The goal is to help inspire and support the next generation of biomedical researchers and clinicians.
