2018 Injury Science REU Summer Internship

The Center for Injury Research and Prevention (CIRP) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a leading multidisciplinary injury research center, has secured for funding to continue designation as an Injury Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site by the National Science Foundation (NSF). CIRP’s REU program will give undergraduate students the opportunity to participate in fundamental research on the causes and consequences of child and adolescent injury. As part of an interdisciplinary team, they work across the fields of engineering, behavioral science, education, population science, and statistics. Students will apply this scientific foundation to assist in developing evidence-based prevention products, programs, policies, and interventions.

 Underrepresented students are encouraged to apply - people of color, students attending schools with limited research opportunities, women, people with disabilities, and veterans.

 The 2018 Injury Science REU program runs June 4, 2018 to August 10, 2018.

 The REU will provide student participants with:

·   one-on-one mentorship from leading scientists

·   participation in a unique, multidisciplinary research approach

·   hands-on research experience

·   a generous stipend

·   free housing

·   contribution toward travel expenses

With mentoring from a well-established team of highly trained pediatric researchers, REU students will:

·   conduct research to build the scientific foundation for injury interventions

·   translate the interventions into practical solutions

·   evaluate the success of these solutions

 Eligibility

Students must meet the following minimum requirements to be eligible to apply:
