Save the Date for Summer Research Trainee Program (SRTP)
Final Presentations
| |
|
The CDI is excited to continue partnering with Mass General departments to expand the pipeline of students who are underrepresented in medicine (UiM) and interested in pursuing careers in academic medicine through the Summer Research Trainee Program (SRTP). On June 6 we welcomed 30 outstanding college and medical students to the SRTP Class of 2022, making this the largest Class in SRTP history. Students are paired with MGH preceptors and conduct novel research in basic science labs, clinical research sites, health policy, and health services settings over 8 weeks during the summer.
| |
|
The SRTP experience culminates with student presentations of their research projects to the MGH community on:
- July 27 @ 9-1 pm - SRTP Final presentation (14 students) at Simches 3110
- July 28 @ 1-5 pm - SRTP Final presentation (13 students) at Simches 3110
Additional details with presentation logistics (presenters, labs/research sites, timings and research project titles) will be sent under separate cover closer to the presentation dates.
SRTP is funded by ECOR, the President’s Office, the MGPO, E&CH and the department sponsoring the student. We are grateful to the 2022 sponsors and preceptors who make this program possible!

Register to take the mic and slam your science at our first in person Science Slam in over two years! MGRI Science Slams are fun, informal science communication events where researchers are challenged to explain their science in layman's terms in three minutes or less. (You can see some previous Slams on our blog!)
We encourage you to think out-of-the box in terms of presentation format (i.e., no PowerPoint) but we encourage you to get creative with props, pictures, everyday household items or something we haven't even thought of yet. All Slammers will receive a gift for participating!
Ice cream will be served for everyone who attends. If you have summer interns in your research program, please encourage them to attend and participate.
The Science Slam is presented by the Office of the Scientific Director and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion.
This is a free event open to all members of the MGRI community. If you have any questions, you can email Coleen Cunningham at ccunningham8@mgh.harvard.edu
