General Information
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute Summer Scholars Program (CRISSP) is a 10-week competitive summer internship program for undergraduate students interested in careers in the biomedical sciences. The internship is designed to provide students with theoretical knowledge, practical training in academic research, and critical exposure to pediatric-focused career trajectories under the direct mentorship of CHOP faculty. Full time immersion in a lab or research group allows interns to experience science and discovery first-hand.
Up to 25 interns will be selected. Interns will receive a $5,000 stipend. Free housing will be available. Need-based travel awards may be requested and will be distributed based on availability. Additional information about the program details and an example schedule of the program can be found on the website.
