Below is a great summer research funding program, an opportunity to meet other students and connect with top researchers in the stem cell field.
I am bringing it to your attention because I think too often, too many students decide not to apply because they are not working directly with stem cells. Do not shut yourself out, the stem cell field is broader than you think and if you need a second look at your personal statement/not sure how to connect your research to this area, I and I am sure other alumni of HIP are happy to help! I really feel that HIP was a fantastic program that made me a better scientist.
In addition, the deadline is Feb 6th! This might seem far away but don't let this and other summer research program deadlines creep up on you. Give your profs time to write your letters, write your personal statement and put your best foot forward so you can have an awesome summer!

HSCI Internship Program (HIP)
Program Dates for HIP 2012
Monday, June 4 – Friday, August 10, 2012
Monday, June 4 – Friday, August 10, 2012
Location
Cambridge and Boston, MA – Harvard University and the 11 Harvard-affiliated hospitals and research centers
Cambridge and Boston, MA – Harvard University and the 11 Harvard-affiliated hospitals and research centers
Program Goals
The goal of the HSCI Internship Program (HIP) is to provide undergraduate students with a focused and challenging summer research experience in a cutting-edge stem cell science laboratory, and to expose them to different professional options within the scientific arena. This is accomplished through a stem cell seminar series, a career pathways presentation, and a weekly stem cell companion course. Interns will present their summer research findings, both orally and in poster format, at the HIP Symposium - a requirement of all program participants.

Interns will present their summer research findings, both orally and in poster format, at the HIP Symposium - a requirement of all program participants.
This program represents an exciting opportunity for undergraduates to gain hands-on experience in stem cell research while working in a Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) laboratory under the supervision of an experienced researcher. Internships will be for a period of ten (10) weeks (or longer, by agreement with the mentor and Principal Investigator) during the summer of 2012. Interns are expected to work full time in the host laboratory for the duration of the internship, attend the weekly seminar and stem cell companion course. A stipend of $4,320.00 will be provided, and this is intended to cover transportation and housing costs related to participation in this program. On-campus housing may be provided, at cost (~$3200 for the ten weeks), though students may also secure housing on their own through sub-lets and other options. After acceptance into the program, students will discuss specific project details with their mentor.
Eligibility
This is an UNDERGRADUATE internship program open to Harvard undergraduates as well as undergraduates from colleges and universities across the US and internationally.
