Case Western Reserve University has a 10 week summer program in pediatric research open to undergraduates who have completed their first year.  Applications are due March 1, 2009.

The Department of Pediatrics at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital and Case Western Reserve University provides a program for undergraduates to obtain experience in biomedical and psychosocial research relating to pediatric disorders.

Students’ responsibilities will include full time work on the research project for 10 weeks, as well as weekly attendance at a meeting in which students will describe their projects to the other students in the program.
