This internship is made possible by the American Heart Association.
Located adjacent to the Texas Medical Center - the largest medical center in the world - Rice offers a unique opportunity for undergraduates to perform cutting-edge cardiovascular research ranging from fundamental science and translational medicine to community health. The SCRIP at Rice, administered by the Institute of Biosciences and Bioengineering (IBB), will recruit undergraduates from the greater Houston area to perform research in the departments of Bioengineering, Biosciences, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Chemistry, Computational and Applied Mathematics, Psychology, Sociology, and Statistics.
The interns will interact with faculty sponsors and their research groups to solve significant problems of relevance to heart disease and stroke patients. The interns will also participate in professional development activities designed to improve scientific communication skills and the recruitment of students into graduate programs. SCRIP will provide a group of young cardiovascular investigators with the foundation and inspiration to translate their research experiences into future high-impact endeavors that enhance the quality of life for persons afflicted with cardiovascular diseases.
Students were expected to devote full-time effort for a minimum of ten (10) weeks during the summer of 2019. The internship provided successful candidates with a student stipend of $4,000.
