Role Description
Beyond the tragedies of lives lost, health compromised, and economies
shattered, the COVID-19 crisis deeply disrupted the traditional academic
summer internship model wherein bright, aspiring students have the
opportunity to experience life science research and apply data analytical
skills learned in classes to real-world medical research. The
TechFoundation internship program has been designed to provide participants
with a 6-8 week experience working remotely with top tier researchers on
real medical research projects.

Each participant will be partnered with a Principal Investigator based at
Harvard Medical School and/or the Brigham and Women's Hospital (a teaching
hospital of HMS). Projects will include data validation, analysis, and
project management and will directly relate to research for publication in
peer-reviewed medical journals. Participants will receive IRB training and
certification at the start of the program.

In addition to a stipend of $5,000, participants will be provided online
training in data science analytics and professional support (limited) from
data scientists/programmers to advance their knowledge of data analysis and
related programming. Experience with Python (or R) is a plus, but is not
required.

The program is open to exceptionally strong rising seniors and graduate
students in STEM or medical programs, broadly. Applications are welcomed
through Handshake and will be processed on a rolling basis until March 31.
Applicants will be notified of acceptance within 2 weeks of the deadline,
and the internship will run between early June and late August, depending
on the individual schedules of those involved (taking PI vacation, travel
schedules, etc., into account).

In addition to the online training and professional support, each
participant will receive at least one mentoring session with their
Principal Investigator dedicated to reviewing their professional interests
and professional plans.

We expect this program to be highly competitive.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for this internship
without regard to race, sex, color, religion, national origin, sexual
orientation, protected veteran status, or on the basis of disability.
