MGB Clinical Research Summer Students 2025 - Call for Mentors and Students
Dear MGB Clinical Research Principal Investigators and Study Coordinators:
We are pleased to once again offer the MGB Clinical Research summer intern program for the summer 2025. The Summer Student program provides research opportunities for highly motivated medical (between first and second years) and undergraduate students (current college students who are not graduating in spring 2025) who are interested in research careers. Applicants will need to work with an investigator who has one or more research projects ongoing in either of the MGB Clinical Research Centers: the Translational and Clinical Research Centers (TCRC) at MGH and/or the Center for Clinical Investigation (CCI) at BWH.
We are looking for both eligible students and clinical investigators to serve as mentors. Mentor responsibilities would involve working with a student on his/her application and, if the student is chosen, having them work on your research team on a TCRC or CCI research project this summer. At the end of the summer, students are required to give a short presentation about their research project to the local MGB Clinical Research Center communities.
The stipend for each student will be $3,000: $1,500 plus fringe from the MGB Clinical Research Center and at least an additional $1,500 plus fringe from the PI's fund for a total of $3,000 plus fringe. In addition, some PIs have supplemented the stipends for their students beyond this minimum.
The application is intended to be as simple as possible in order to encourage your participation. Initial interest for pairing mentors and students is due by Friday April 4. Applications are due Friday April 18th. Award notifications are anticipated on May 2.
Attached you will find an application template for students interested in participating in the Summer Student program. The application consists of the following:
A) Title page, including:
Title of Research project
Abstract and TCRC or CCI SPID # of project
B) Biographical information about the mentor, including:

C) CV from the applicant
D) One-page statement from the applicant describing how involvement in the proposed research will educate and benefit the applicant
