Student Description/Qualifications
Summer Research Opportunities at MIT The MIT Summer Research Program has a rich 37-year history of inspiring and cultivating the next generation of talented undergraduate scholars from underrepresented identities in graduate education. The MSRP program structure provides robust support and emphasizes community, Lab work, and Co-curricular Instruction. Through community, MSRP welcomes interns to the MIT culture of mind and hand and our ethos of building a better world. Interns spend nine weeks in an MIT lab: conducting research, receiving mentorship from a faculty member and others on the research team, and through co-curricular instruction, interns build skills in areas such as scientific communication and graduate admissions preparation.
