The Undergraduate Program
Programs give undergraduate research training priority by selecting approximately 75% undergraduate participants out of at least ten participants per year. It is suggested that undergraduate participants have completed approximately two years of coursework in a major related to biomedical or behavioral science, a minimum GPA of 3.0 and/or show other evidence of exceptional scientific interest and talent. Previous undergraduate research experience is ecommended before entering the MIRT program. The duration of the undergraduate training abroad is ten to twelve weeks. tp://www.nih.gov/fic/programs/mirt.html
