Howard Hughes Medical Institute Sponsored Student and Teacher Internship at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, USA

摘要

In 1990 the Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) system initiated Student and Teacher Internship Program as a pilot project designed to encourage educational advancement in science and increase opportunities for motivated high school students to perform hands-on scientific research under the direction of experienced mentors. The program is now in its 12~(th) year. Each year 10 teachers and 18 high school students serve as interns in laboratories at the NIH after completing a two-week intensive biomedical technology course.
