The NRI is excited to offer a virtual internship program for high school students! This 4-week, online-only program will allow students the opportunity to learn from NRI Principal Investigators, participate in group mentoring sessions, and complete an independent nutrition research project and presentation. All sessions will be via Zoom.

Program Requirements: To successfully complete the internship program, students must attend all seminars and workshops and complete their program project (a 3-5-page paper on the nutrient of their choice). Students must also prepare and give a 5-minute presentation related to their program project.

Application Requirements: All applicants must be either a current high school student (rising freshman who will be entering high school in the fall of 2023 are eligible to participate) or a recent high school graduate who will begin their freshman year of college in the fall of 2023. All applicants under the age of 18 must have permission from their parents to participate. Applications will be reviewed with 20 students being accepted into the program.
