NIH SIP Question

<p>Ok, I had a few questions regarding the Summer Internship Program at NIH. </p>

<p>1.) I am a freshman (15 years old), and I understand that only 16 year olds can apply, but do you think that there is any harm in applying for next summer and asking PI's?
2.) Do you think that there is any harm in asking PI's if I can intern the summer after next, or is it still too early?
3.) Usually, if you participate in this SIP, do you get your name on a publication (because that is my ultimate goal)? </p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
