The Native American Research Internship is a dynamic summer research
opportunity for Native American Undergraduate Junior and Senior students
who are interested in Health Science research. The internship is
located at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah. It is a
10-week, paid summer internship, funded by the National Institutes of
Health.
The internship focus is to provide Native American students an
outstanding laboratory or clinically based research experience working
alongside world class research faculty at the University of Utah. The
goal of the internship is to support the academic, career, and personal
development of Native American students who are interested in Health
Science careers. Each student will participate in approximately 40
hours/week of internship activities. Approximately 30 hours/week will be
for research related activities, and approximately 10 hours/week will
be for academic/professional development.
Students will work closely
with research mentors as well as Native American faculty and staff
mentors, develop meaningful relationships within the Health Science and
Native American research communities, attend a Native American Health
conference, and have opportunities to shadow physicians at their
clinical practice. Students will also gain insightful knowledge in the
areas of: graduate/medical school preparation, career development,
additional academic opportunities, community engagement,
professionalism, creating scientific posters, and presenting research
material.
