Projects: NEI Summer Research
 

The NEI summer research program is an ideal opportunity to determine whether research might be the right career choice for you. Our students are given opportunities to conduct research in a variety of scientific disciplines and present their findings to faculty and fellow students.

For example, see Schedule & Presentation Slides 2006 by our first-year student researchers.
