The internship offers a unique opportunity to work on original research with major names in Sports Medicine and Sports Research, providing resume-building experiences and pathways to science competitions.
The Research Institute of Sport & Exercise (RISE) Summer Research Internship offers high school students a challenging opportunity to engage in collaborative research projects under the guidance of leading experts in Sports Medicine and Sports Research. Interns gain hands-on experience in areas such as injury surveillance, epidemiology, sports medicine, computer science/database management, statistics, and software engineering. The program emphasizes resume-building experiences in the sciences, allowing students to become active researchers within a student-faculty team. Participants will have the chance to present their research at an informal symposium and attend seminars on topics like career development, resume building, introductory statistics, epidemiology, science ethics, and sports medicine and injury prevention. Shadowing opportunities at collaborative institutions and data collection at major events are also part of the enriching experience. This internship is designed to provide invaluable research experience that is attractive for future employers and for university, graduate, and professional school programs, and can help students qualify for science competitions like the Regeneron Science Talent Search.
A typical day involves working with faculty on research projects, potentially collecting data at events, participating in seminars on various scientific and career development topics, and collaborating with a student-faculty team.
This program is ideal for motivated high school students interested in pursuing careers in sports medicine, sports research, computer science, public health, or related STEM fields.
