Genomics Summer Research for Magnificents (GSRM) Internship

GSRM Hero

The Genomics Summer Research for Magnificents (GSRM) internship provides a ten-week summer research program for undergraduate students interested in in biosciences or bioinformatics with a focus on genomics research, including ethical, legal and social implications (ELSI) of genomics research. The GSRM is federally funded by a National Institutes of Health Research Education Program (R25) and supported by the University of Utah Department of Pediatrics. The paid internship provides students with placement in world-class genomics research groups, tailored mentorship, professional development workshops and access to state-of-the-art equipment and technology. Interns have the opportunity to interact with a thriving community of scientists, physicians and mentors that recognize the need to promote new opportunities to students who are from underrepresented groups in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce.
