During the summer months MaineHealth Institute for Research (MHIR) provides undergraduates with an opportunity for a paid research internship through the ten week MHIR Summer Undergraduate Research Program. Research at MHIR covers a broad spectrum of biomedical and health sciences including cardiovascular biology, stem cell biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, metabolic and hormonal regulation, health services and population health, and clinical research. Students attend weekly research lectures delivered by MaineHealth faculty and clinicians, as well as professional development and networking activities led by MaineHealth leaders and social and networking events when possible.
Students enrolled in an undergraduate college program or community college program, or high school seniors at least 18 years of age are eligible to apply. Participants must be eligible to be employed in the United States.
Contact us with any questions and please share with anyone who might be interested in the program!
