WV-INBRE Summer Research program for High School Science Educators

A 2016 Summer Research Internship program for high school science educators sponsored by the WV-INBRE program has been created. Participants will have the opportunity to work on a biomedical research project for up to 9 weeks from May 23 through July 31, 2016. Based on the high school’s academic calendar, these dates are flexible. Participation is open to high school science educators who teach in the state of West Virginia during the 2015-2016 academic school year. As many as 5 positions will be available. Preference may be given to HSTA teachers and those teachers who work in HSTA-affiliated schools. A salary of $9,000 will be provided to each intern for the full 9-week period or $1000/week if they work less than the 9 weeks, and $$$$ will be provided to the mentor’s laboratory for supplies. Research opportunities exist in biomedical labs at West Virginia University, Marshall University, and at WV-INBRE-funded laboratories at partner institutions. The following partner institutions with funding are Alderson-Broaddus College, Bluefield State College, Shepherd University, and West Liberty University. This year the potentially funded labs are:
