Internships
The Nutrition Research Institute (NRI) studies why metabolism and nutrient needs vary from person to person. By understanding these differences, researchers and healthcare providers can better support health, brain development, and treatment of conditions such as obesity, cancer, and diabetes.
NRI is part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and is located on the North Carolina Research Campus in Kannapolis, North Carolina. Our team also provides the business and administrative support needed to operate a $20 million research organization.

Designed for high school students (rising freshmen through seniors), the program ran for six weeks and offered weekly lectures and group mentoring sessions via Zoom.
Over the course of these six weeks, each student was also expected to complete an independent research poster on the nutrient of their choice. We are excited to present the exceptional work of our summer interns in our Virtual Internship Program Student Journal.
