The Washington University in St. Louis Pediatric Center of Excellence in Nephrology is now accepting applications to its 2025 Summer Research Scholars Program. This program aims to inspire future leaders in pediatric kidney disease research by engaging students in meaningful research and clinical experiences in kidney development, biology, cutting-edge technologies, preclinical model systems and pediatric nephrology.
The program is open to undergraduate, post baccalaureate and medical students interested in biological research or medicine. Start and end dates are usually the first business day in June through the last business day in July, but some flexibility is allowed as academic schedules may vary for each student; however, an 8-week commitment is required. Students will work with a mentor on a research project and will have opportunities for didactic training and clinical shadowing in nephrology. Through seminars and lectures, students will learn about the research process and careers in medicine and research.
Students will receive an approximately $4,500 stipend. Please note: Housing is not provided as a part of the program although paid housing options through Washington University may be available. A small stipend towards housing may be available in addition and will be determined on availability of funds near the start of the program.
Learn more and apply here by the program deadline of February 21, 2025.
