Nathan Schnaper Intern Program in Translational Cancer Research (NSIP)

Please check our Facebook page for updates on potential program restrictions due to COVID-19 safety guidelines.

The NSIP is an 11-week summer internship for undergraduate students interested in cancer research. The program provides integrated research, educational and clinical experiences that emphasize the translation of laboratory discoveries into clinical applications and inspire the next generation of cancer researchers and physician-scientists.

Interns admitted to the NSIP receive a competitive support package including financial assistance for interstate travel to the University of Maryland Baltimore and a living allowance. Housing at UMB and nearby Loyola University Maryland is offered at a reduced cost. The 2023 NSIP will begin on May 22, 2023 and conclude on August 4, 2023. The deadline for applications is February 15, 2023; late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Please see the links below for a full description of the NSIP and application instructions. At this time, the internship will be in-person, however we will follow recommended University heath guidelines as appropriate.
