Fellowships & Positions - Cancer Research Interns in Residence (CRIR)

The Cancer Research Interns in Residence (CRIR) Program was inaugurated in 2004 to further embrace diversity of trainee applicants to CCR. Over the past four years, 181 students have been recruited and 107 placed in labs across the CCR. The Office of Training and Education provides the training dollars, some Service & Supply funds, and housing for financially qualified students in accordance with the Federal Register June 29, 2006, Vol. 71, No. 125, p. 37085. We have expanded our network of colleges, universities, and minority-targeted programs to bring a new group of interns to the Center for Cancer Research each summer. Any students interested in the CCR Cancer Research Interns in Residence Program should apply online through the NIH Office of Education website. Applicants must also e-mail a Statement of Interest to Ms. Vi Black (click here to view flyer) after the online application is submitted.

Applicants must be:

• U.S. citizens or permanent residents
• 18 or older
• students with cancer-related research interests
• from groups under-represented in biomedical science and/or disadvantaged backgrounds

Academic requirement: GPA of 3.0 or higher.

All students are required to present posters for the NIH Annual Summer Intern Poster Day. For more information, contact Dr. Jonathan Wiest or Vi Black.
