Recruitment & Training to Unlock Research Potential in Science
Each summer, NIDA IRP sponsors research activities for students interested in substance use disorder research. Students work full-time in laboratories located in the research facilities of the NIDA IRP in Baltimore. Learn more about this program.
This mechanism serves to promote mentorship of young scientists passionate about addiction research and issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion in science. Fellows will participate in research at the NIDA IRP and have the opportunity to network and present their findings at local and national meetings. Program activities will help to ensure the success of these students in their pursuit of careers in science and medicine. People from diverse groups are encouraged to apply; see more info in the program description.
