The Washington University School of Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, offers a Pediatric Student Research Program (PRSP), open to current full-time undergraduate (MUST be 18.).
Under the direction of three Washington University clinician-researchers, Ashley Steed, MD, PhD and Cliff Luke, PhD, PSRP was created with the purpose of introducing research to young investigators and to further their existing interest in research. The program includes seminars and mentored research experience during the eight-week scenario, June 8th, 2026 through July 31st, 2026. Selected participants work alongside experienced researchers. Opportunities range from bench to clinical to community-based research. Students participate in lab meetings to gain insight into the infrastructure of the research operation and to witness the collaborative process of sharing techniques, new endeavors, and successful investigative outcomes.
Applications are accepted from November 15th to January 31st.
Additional application and program information can be found on the PSRP Website https://pediatricstudentresearch.wustl.edu/. Questions may be directed to Laurie Klein at psrp@kids.wustl.edu.
