Program Overview
The Marshfield Clinic Research Institute has offered summer research internship opportunities to qualified students since 1974. The primary goal of the program is to provide a mentored, hands-on research experience for college undergraduate, graduate, dental, and medical students considering a career in research.
Through the 10 week full-time working program (typically from late May/early June through early August), students work with a research scientist on an independent project and contribute to all aspects of the research process. SRIP students are required to attend an Institutional Review Board meeting, lead a journal club session, prepare an abstract describing their research, as well as prepare and deliver an oral presentation of their research at the annual Research Symposium in early August. In addition to the independent projects, the SRIP program students are given access to and encouraged to attend scientific seminars and journal clubs as well as additional opportunities through Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), ethics, or scientific review.
Through funding provided primarily through philanthropy, the program provides interns with an hourly wage. In some cases, the summer research project can serve as the capstone project or thesis if required for the student’s degree program.
Research Areas
Research areas, potential mentors, and projects for SRIP students are listed on the Summer Research Internship Program Research Areas Page. Projects will be updated at the start of the application cycle. Read MCRI's Year in Review for a snapshot of the activities, people and resources at our institution that contribute to program success. Visit the 2023 SRIP Research Symposium to see interns' final projects.
