Host laboratories provide enrichment activities, including career professional development workshops (e.g. technical and scientific writing skills development, poster, or oral presentation activities, etc.), laboratory tours, scientific lectures and seminars.
Host laboratories provide all required site specific training.
Beginning with the 2013 Summer Term, selected students receive a stipend of $500 per week during the internship period.
Selected students are reimbursed for one round trip domestic travel to the host laboratory (if permanent address is more than 50 miles from the host laboratory).
