The North Carolina Collaborative (NCC) Summer Research Experience Program is recruiting high school, college students and teachers for its 2017 session! The NCC program provides an intensive research experience over 8 weeks in the summer, focusing on pharmaco-epidemiological research methodology and scientific writing skills. Participants are placed in teams and matched with Duke faculty mentors to work on an original, hypothesis-driven project, progressing through draft figures and tables, an abstract, a PowerPoint presentation, and a written thesis. The research experience is supplemented with content-related tutorials provided by Duke medicine and pediatrics faculty members, a statistician, a medical writer, and other research staff. The program also includes an intensive medical ethics seminar on the responsible conduct of research.
- College students will receive $3,200.
- High school students will receive $2,600.
- Teachers participating in the program will also be compensated for the 8-week commitment.
Deadline for applications is on January 09, 2017. Check out the program website for more information:
