This program is for community college students interested in exploring careers in research and healthcare. These are full-time research positions within one of the NIH Institutes and Centers (IC) in the NIH Intramural Research Program. Research groups are located on all NIH campuses, including the main campus in Bethesda, MD. CCSEP is a cohort program within the broader Summer Internship Program. In addition to having access to the resources offered to all summer interns, CCSEP interns also participate in orientation, leadership, professional development, and well-being programs as part of a cohort or learning community.
