There are countless summer internship programs, most with compensation or stipends for students studying Bioinformatics (or Biology, Biochemistry, Computer Science, and Statistics). Sponsoring organizations include universities, small and large companies, and national research labs. Loyola Bioinformatics majors have been especially successful in competing for prestigious National Science Foundation summer research fellowships at universities across the country. The sites for internships and fellowships change frequently. The web sites below maintain updated lists of these opportunities. Alternatively, Google searches with terms like bioinformatics + summer + intern or fellow will retrieve additional programs.
