This spans genetic to ecosystem levels of inquiry. Interns work with a mentor to conduct an independent research project, participate in training and professional development programs, and present their results to a broad audience. Participants receive a $5,750 stipend and the program will cover necessary expenses associated with the internship.
Due to COVID-19, the exact structure of the internship program remains ambiguous; however, we are committed to providing a meaningful experience abiding by health and safety restrictions. For more information, please visit our website.
