Cancer Research Interns Summer Program

Apply Now to CRI SP

Selection

Selection

The CRI SP program manager will first conduct an internal review to confirm that the application meets the eligibility requirements and program objectives. Eligible applications will then be evaluated by a panel of NCI investigators and staff.

Interviews and Acceptance

Selected applicants will receive access to available projects through Train at NCI. They may express interest in projects and contact investigators to schedule interviews. All project selections and interviews must be coordinated through the system. If you are interested in working with an NCI investigator who does not currently have a project listed in Train at NCI, please ask the investigator to contact the CRI SP program administrator.

At the end of the interview period, both the applicant and the investigators will submit rankings based on their interviews. The CRI SP program administrator will then make the best possible matches based on those rankings and extend an offer on behalf of the program and investigator.

Notification

Throughout the process, all applicants will be notified via email of their application status. If you do not receive emails, please make sure your email address is listed correctly in your application and check your spam/junk email folders.

Internship Requirements

CRI SP interns should work with their investigator to identify the best start date that meets their needs, typically mid-May and mid-August. All interns are required to attend and engage in the following activities during their fellowship:

  • Attend Summer Orientation (both NIH and their NCI Division)
  • Participate in CRI seminars and workshops
  • Present at NIH Summer Poster Day (early August)
