2014 Maryland Summer Scholars Program

The Maryland Summer Scholars Program (MSS) provides an exciting opportunity for undergraduate students to spend the summer working closely with faculty mentors on ambitious research or artistic projects. Maryland Summer Scholars research may take place in College Park or anywhere in the US or abroad as required by the nature of the project.  For the summer of 2014, the program will provide awards of $3,000 to approximately 30 outstanding, competitively selected applicants. [Please note: if your proposed research requires travel outside of the College Park area, you may apply for a supplementary travel award of up to $1,000.]

Students who carry out Maryland Summer Scholars projects gain a competitive edge when applying for graduate study, fellowships, employment and other competitive opportunities. Many Summer Scholars turn their research into an independent study or honors thesis during their junior or senior year.

Harvard Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences

Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences at the Harvard School of Public Health, June 15 – July 26, 2014.

If you like mathematics and would like to learn how quantitative methods can be applied in the study of human health, then the Summer Program in Quantitative Sciences is for you.  The Summer Program will introduce you to the power and excitement of math applications to public health, medicine, and biology, and possibly convince you that this is the career direction you've been looking for!

Undergraduate Summer Program (post-baccalaureates are also eligible to apply to this program)

The Summer Program is a relatively intensive 6-week program, during which qualified participants receive a whirlwind introduction to biostatistics, epidemiology and public health research. This program is designed to expose undergraduates to the use of quantitative methods for biological, environmental and medical research.  The program also provides advice about graduate school and the application process through GRE preparation, meetings with different departments of the Harvard School of Public Health, and individualized mentoring by Harvard faculty.

Participants take non-credit introductory courses in biostatistics and STATA (a statistical program), and attend a series of afternoon topical seminars. The seminars, led by faculty members from various departments at the Harvard School of Public Health, are designed to broaden participant's understanding of the relationship of biostatistics to human health by providing a snapshot of methods developed and applied to real research projects in different fields.

Participants also gain research experience through small-group research projects directed by faculty and graduate student mentors.  At the end of the program, students present their research to the group and to affiliated faculty.

Housing and travel are provided and a living stipend of approximately $1500/month is provided for the 6-week program. 

NEW:  Post Baccalaureate Summer Program

In addition to all of the above, this new 3-month Internship program for post-bacs is open to students who have received bachelor’s degrees and who are planning to attend a graduate degree program in Biostatistics.  Past summer program participants are encouraged to apply. 

Two interns will be selected and will participate in collaborative research projects through three, one-month long rotations at academic and clinical centers at Harvard.  They will attend regular seminars at Harvard and Dana Farber Cancer Institute on Biostatistical topics.  They will also attend our Annual Symposium in July 2014 and return the next summer to present their research at our 2015 Annual Symposium.

Travel is provided and Interns will receive a salary for the Post Baccaulaureate program.

Alumni of the Summer Program have earned or are enrolled in graduate degrees in many campuses over the country, including Masters or PhDs in Biostatistics and Epidemiology. 

The deadline for applications is February 14, 2014.  The website for eligibility, requirements, and application are here:  http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/biostatistics/summer-program/  Potential applicants should have some aptitude and interest in quantitative methods and an interest in public health as a career.  Prior exposure to statistics is not required.   Please email any questions to:  biostat_diversity@hsph.harvard.edu.

CDC Leaders in Environmental Health - Summer 2014 Internship

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): Collegiate Leaders in Environmental Health Summer Internship Program

This is a 10-week summer 2014 environmental internship for undergraduate students majoring in Environmental Studies, Environmental Engineering, Ecology, or related fields who are passionate about the environment, about human health, and about the link between the two. The National Deadline to apply is Wednesday, January 29, 2014.

Website: http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/cleh/overview.htm

For more information and for assistance with your application contact: National Scholarships Office – scholarships@umd.edu

Who Can Apply: US Citizens or Permanent Resident with a green card – rising junior or senior – 3.0+ GPA – an academic major or demonstrated coursework concentration in environmental studies or related fields

Description: This is a 10-week summer environmental internship for undergraduate students majoring in Environmental Studies, Environmental Engineering, Ecology, or related fields who are passionate about the environment, about human health, and about the link between the two. A healthy environment should be capable of sustaining a healthy population; however, with 6.3 billion people on the earth, there is a need for more sustainable interactions between humans and the environment. Harmful environments can increase the risk of many health conditions. Healthy environments, on the other hand, can promote good health in many ways—protecting people from toxic exposures, providing safe water and clean air, and encouraging healthy behaviors such as outdoor recreation. Environmental health is the discipline that focuses on the interrelationships between people and their environment, promotes human health and well-being, and fosters safe and healthy living. This branch of public health is concerned with all aspects of the natural and built environment that may affect human health.

Interns will be placed in environmental health programs at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR). Over the course of the summer, interns will be exposed to a broad overview of environmental public health issues at the federal level.

Interns will participate in environmental health projects, interact with federal officials and scientists, and visit important environmental health sites in Atlanta. Other activities may include "brown-bag" lunches with CDC staff, as well as attending lectures from important environmental health leaders in the Atlanta area. In addition, interns will be able to attend the many seminars offered by CDC during the summer.

CDC has partnered with The Department of Energy (DOE)/Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) to implement the Program. CDC will review applications and make final award selections.

Award Amount:  The internship program will provide a stipend for living expenses ($500 per week). Travel to Atlanta will be the student’s responsibility. Potential housing options will be provided in advance; however the interns will be expected to make their own arrangements.

Duration: 10 weeks during the summer - June, 2014 to August, 2014 (Dates TBD)

National Deadline:  Wednesday, January 29, 2014
