PRIDE Summer Internship Program

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 during the summer (2027 Dates TBA). Applicants will be evaluated through a review of their statement of purpose, letter(s) of recommendation, and academic transcripts. 

Applications for summer 2027 will open in early December. Please visit this website again for more information.
