Summer Academic Research Experience

Program Overview
The goal of this program is to provide students with a summer experience that will be
challenging, enriching, and personally rewarding. Students will be paired up with a
biomedical research lab where they will meet and interact with doctoral and postdoctoral
students on a daily basis. Students will learn some basic laboratory skills and will learn
how to think analytically and creatively. Students will also participate in lab meetings
and journal clubs. Finally, students will receive additional scholastic support to allow
them to significantly advance their academic skills, putting themselves in better position
for the following school year.

Students will commit to and work towards making daily progress - personally,
professionally and academically. In exchange, students will be welcomed into the
research environment at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, will receive personalized
training in a variety of laboratory skills, will receive scholastic fortification, and will be
compensated with a stipend.

The Application Process:


The application process includes an interview. Once your complete application and letters of
recommendation have been received, these will be reviewed. Competitive students will be
