Final submission due Sunday, February 28, 2021. Students will be notified by early April 2021.
The Shah Engaged Research Summer Internship at the Netter Center will provide support to approximately four students (undergraduate or graduate) per summer to pursue research projects that contribute to civic and community engagement.
Students' research should focus on helping to solve universal problems such as poverty, health inequities, environmental sustainability, and inadequate, unequal education as they are manifested in West Philadelphia and/or Philadelphia. Students will have the opportunity to connect to the Netter Center's regional, national, and global networks to share their research as well as learn from others.
Students must have support from a faculty member who will serve as an advisor. The Netter Center Director will also serve as an advisor. A faculty committee will review applications and make nominations to the Director who will make the final selection of the interns.
There will be two meetings during the summer for all of the interns, their advisors, the Director of the Netter Center, and other Netter Center staff as appropriate.
Undergraduate interns must be available to work on their research project full-time for ten weeks during the summer, starting June 1, 2020. Interns will receive a stipend of $4,500. Graduate interns will receive a stipend in accordance with their professional school (e.g., six to eight weeks for $3,000).
