Building Diversity in Biomedical Sciences provides a mentored, 10-week research intensive experience for 16-20 undergraduates who are interested in pursuing PhD or MD/PhD training upon completion of the baccalaureate degree. The program will run this year from May 26-August 1, 2025. Students receive a salary of $5,200 (before taxes) as well as housing and the cost of transportation to and from the Boston area at the start and conclusion of the program are both covered. Funded by the NIH, BDBS seeks to promote diversity and inclusion in biomedical sciences by providing research and career development opportunities for underrepresented groups in the field (as defined by the NIH).
