The NSIP is a 11-week summer internship for undergraduate students interested in cancer research. The program provides integrated research, educational and clinical experiences that emphasize the translation of laboratory discoveries into clinical applications and inspire the next generation of cancer researchers and physician-scientists.

Interns admitted to the NSIP receive a competitive support package including financial assistance for interstate travel to the University of Maryland Baltimore and a living allowance. Housing is available at Loyola University Maryland and UMB at competitive rates. The 2024 NSIP will begin on May 20, 2024 and conclude on August 2, 2024. The deadline for applications is February 15, 2024; late or incomplete applications will not be considered. Please see the links below for a full description of the NSIP and application instructions.

The UMB Research and Mentoring Program (UMB RAMP) is a summer research training program that targets 11th and 12th grade high school students from West Baltimore. This is a 2-year program, consisting of a 5-week summer program that teaches foundational knowledge required to understand concepts across the translational research continuum while providing the skills to perform basic lab techniques and clinical measurements and school year research rotation experiences in year one, followed by an applied summer research experience during the second summer. High school participants can be paid through YouthWorks for the summer portions in addition to being paid up to $500 for participating in the research rotations.

The Cancer Biology T32 Training Program at the University of Maryland is a prestigious program designed to train predoctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in fundamental mechanisms of cancer biology at the molecular, cellular and organism levels. The program takes advantage of the multidisciplinary and highly interactive research environment within the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center and University of Maryland School of Medicine on the University of Maryland Baltimore campus to provide outstanding training in critical areas of basic and translational cancer research. A major goal of this multi-disciplinary program is to provide trainees with a stimulating academic environment that inspires interdisciplinary cancer research, including cutting-edge technologies enabling discoveries that will lead to next-generation diagnostics, specific therapeutics and effective preventives. Trainees will gain an appreciation for productive bidirectional translation between lab and clinic by participating in research and didactic sessions with interactive teams of basic, translational and clinical researchers.  Support for the program has been provided from a training grant from the NIH National Cancer Institute.
