2024 NIDA Summer Research Internship Program

Application Deadline: February 2, 2024

The NIDA Summer Research Internship Program supports all students with a focus on increasing underrepresented populations in drug abuse research. Through this program, undergraduates aged 18 and older are introduced to the field of substance use and addiction research by participating in research internships with NIDA’s distinguished scientists at universities across the United States. Students work with leading scientists for eight weeks during the summer. The internship may include laboratory experiments, data collection, data analysis, formal courses, participation in lab meetings, patient interviews, manuscript preparation, and literature reviews. In addition, it is expected that each intern will deliver a formal presentation on their research project at the end of the internship.

Eligibility:

  • This NIDA Summer Research Internship Program is designed for undergraduate students to experience substance use and addiction research in the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences. Applicants must be at least 18 years old on or before May 31, 2024, and must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
  • Graduating 2024 college seniors are eligible to apply.
  • Students must be committed to working for 8 consecutive weeks during the summer (some schedule flexibilities may be allowed).
  • Individuals who have already participated in the NIDA Summer Research Internship Program are no longer eligible to apply.
  • NIDA highly encourages those from diverse backgrounds, including those from underrepresented groups, to apply for this summer research experience (see NIH’s Interest in Diversity). 

Scope of Support:

  • Interns will receive a wage of $15.00 per hour for a maximum of $4,800 for eight (8) weeks.
  • Internship experiences are in-person.
  • Interns may receive a housing reimbursement for up to $2,500 (upon sending NIDA proper documentation of these expenses) if they are required to travel to a different state for their internship. After accepting an internship position, the intern will be required to cover any additional costs for housing and other expenses accrued including but not limited to utilities, cable, Wi-Fi, and meals. NIDA understands that some locations have a higher cost of living and additional housing support will be considered with proper documentation on a case-by-case basis.
