Need and Use of Information Collection: The NIDA Summer Research
Internship program introduces high school and undergraduate students of
underrepresented populations to substance abuse research through
internships with NIDA grantees at universities across the United States
and Puerto Rico. Students intern with NIDA principal investigators for
8-10 weeks during the summer. The internship experience may include
laboratory experiments, formal courses, data collection, data analysis,
patient recruitment, manuscript preparation, literature reviews and
library research. This outreach and pipeline program exposes students
interested in biomedical and behavioral research careers to cutting
edge substance abuse research.
This program fills a significant unmet need to encourage and
support individuals from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in
substance abuse research. The NIDA Summer Research Internship program
offers a unique opportunity to increase the diversity and creativity of
the biomedical research workforce by fostering the development of young
talent through the creation of mentorship and training opportunities
with premier substance abuse research laboratories around the country.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 350.
