"Summers of Discovery" NIH internships?

<p>I will be heading down to NC for an 8 week NIEHS internship. Has anyone done this program before, and will any HS students be doing it this year (atany location)?</p>

<p>I am interested in this program. Did you have to do anything special to get it? and can you post your stats? thanks</p>

<p>I'm plannng to attending one of those in the near future.</p>

<p>I'm doing my NIH internship at NCI right now! It's awesome but very tiring. You work 8hr/day and 5days/ week. Basically you do your own research and don't really work that much with other students. anyhow it's really nice and if you are interested in bio you should really apply. also you get to know a lot of world class researchers and will see the "real" scientists..which is a great experience =P</p>
