This is a paid 8-week summer research internship at a leading university, specifically designed to support and mentor high school students from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM.
The Bay Area Youth Science (BAYS) Program at UCSF offers an 8-week paid summer research internship for rising high school juniors and seniors. Participants gain hands-on experience by conducting research in UCSF labs, working alongside graduate student mentors. The program focuses on developing scientific research skills, with potential topics including drug discovery, cancer biology, and protein biophysics. Interns also engage in workshops covering college preparation, life skills, and scientific communication. The internship culminates in a campus-wide research presentation, providing students with a platform to share their findings and develop presentation skills. This program aims to increase representation in STEM fields by supporting students from historically excluded communities and helps them build confidence and a sense of belonging in college and biomedical science careers.
Interns spend their days in UCSF labs, conducting biomedical research under the guidance of a scientist or graduate student mentor, and attend workshops on college preparation and scientific communication.
This program is ideal for rising high school juniors and seniors from historically excluded communities who are interested in pursuing careers in biomedical sciences and gaining authentic research experience.
