We are excited to announce that we will be launching the Summer Public Health Education and Research Experience (SPHERE) at Northeastern University this summer. The program is targeted to undergraduates who have not yet had opportunity to have this type of intensive, mentored research experience.
Here are some key details about the program:
Takes place May 28th to August 5th – a week and a half of instruction followed by 8 weeks in research labs
The program is held at the Northeastern University Boston Campus giving you the opportunity to study in the heart of Boston, a hub for education, innovation, and healthcare.
A $6,000 stipend is provided plus food and travel expenses
Skills the program teaches include how to conduct research, analyze data, and communicate findings effectively.
The goal of the program is to provide students with hands-on mentoring, professional development, and a vibrant academic community to help them gain tools to excel.
