The new Pediatric Research Internship and Discovery at Emory (PRIDE) program interns will be matched with a mentor that aligns closely with the intern’s preferred area of interest upon acceptance. The program includes an onboarding seminar week, two additional educational seminars, development in research methods and scientific communication, and continuous mentorship throughout the summer. The program is 10 weeks long and will run from June 1, 2026 –August 7, 2026. Candidate applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged. Applicants will be evaluated through a review of their statement of purpose, letter(s) of recommendation, and academic transcripts. Applicants must apply through our Application Portal by March 20th, 2026. All students will be notified of the decision on April 3, 2026.
