<p>is anybody applying to NIH for summer 06 here?
or anybody has been to NIH before?</p>

2

<p>I'm really interested in NIH..could you tell me where to apply and stuff?</p>

3

<p>I think there's a whole NIH thread...also I would go on <a href="http://www.nih.gov%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.nih.gov&lt;/a> and search for summer programs...I'm interested as well!</p>

<p>More specifically: <a href="http://www.training.nih.gov/student/sip/index.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.training.nih.gov/student/sip/index.asp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>They even have last year's little handbook thing up on the website..it's a PDF...it tells like the planned activities and all that.</p>

<p>Is it possible to get into this as a rising junior if you'll be 16 by the start of the program?</p>

6

<p>I think I might apply.</p>

7

<p>I want to apply to the National Human Genome Institute, but with the way my school works. I've only had one year of BioChem, but 2 years in physics (heading towards an Engineering Major, but i'm thinking about going into BioMedical Engineering).</p>

<p>Do they teach me most of the things I need to know, or do I really need to wait until I've taken Biology and Chemistry before seriously applying?</p>

<p>Could you give a link to the handbook, ceecee? I can't seem to find it.</p>

<p>I think the most important thing now is to contact some investigators at NIH and get their permissions to work in their labs. If you don't do so, you don't have a big chance to get into the program I think.</p>

10

<p>I am. I hope I get in.</p>

<p>i've heard this program is all about contacts.</p>
