Typically openings are available in the laboratories of the Institute scientists. The internships are funded by a stipend and are 2. Application due dates and requirements. Principal Investigators in the Divisions of Neuroscience, Reproductive Sciences, and Pathobiology and Immunology oversee research programs related to high-priority medical needs that are expected to increase in importance and funding emphasis over the coming decades.
These include research in neurodevelopment, neuroendocrinology, neurodegeneration, cancer, aging, mental illness, brain injury, addiction, obesity, reproductive health, immune response to infectious agents, and stem cells.

In addition to our flagship summer research program, OccHealthSci faculty participate in several other OHSU summer internship programs for undergraduate and high school students. Our faculty are open to participating in other internship programs.
External organizations who want to place interns in our labs should contact relevant faculty labs or the Director's office to discuss opportunities.
About Our Program. How to Apply. You qualify if you meet the following criteria: Have completed at least one undergraduate college year by the start date of the program. Have completed at least one course in the basic sciences some tracks require a lab component and mathematics or statistics.
Economically disadvantaged students are defined as individuals who come from a low-income family, using low income levels specified by the U. Department of Health and Human Services as a guideline.
Socially disadvantaged students come from an environment that may inhibit them from obtaining knowledge, skills or abilities required to enroll and successfully complete an undergraduate or graduate course of study that could lead to a career in the health sciences. This category includes, but is not restricted to, students whose parents did not attend or complete college.
The term "disability" is defined by the federal government in various ways, depending on the context. For the purposes of federal disability nondiscrimination laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act ADA , Section of the Rehabilitation Act of and Section of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act , the definition of a person with a disability is typically defined as someone who 1 has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more "major life activities," 2 has a record of such an impairment, or 3 is regarded as having such an impairment.
You are a U. Unfortunately, no. We expect to notify all applicants in late February. Equity Intern Presentations. Bonnie Nagel and Dr. Amir Veshagh, mentored by Dr. Gary Westbrook and Dr. Julie Saugstad and Sierra Smith. OHSU was an ideal environment in which to conduct this research, as I interacted daily with enthusiastic, capable researchers who were eager to provide advice.
This summer at the Vollum Institute, miles away from home, I learned to appreciate the work of neuroscientists like never before.
Getting a glimpse of the life I aspire to have as a future neuroscientist, doing research and working with others, was an enriching opportunity that I am incredibly grateful for.
My stay at the Westbrook Lab showed me the infinite possibilities in the study of the brain, its networks and the incredible impact a small amount of stimuli can have on neuronal structures.
Having this knowledge moving forward has helped me understand that neuroscience is a field that requires a special courage to seek answers to questions that may never have them. Science has always been something that I was interested in because I always had questions of how and why.
My curiosity drew me to neuroscience because we know so little, and the idea of finding answers and new things gave me the drive to pursue this field. I knew that I wanted to be involved in neuroscience research in junior high school, and my passion has not wavered even seven years later. I hope to achieve a Ph. Being in this program has given me insight on what is to come for my future in research.
I believe that hard work, confidence, and a relentless attitude is the key to achieve any goal. You must believe that you can. My summer research examined endocannabinoid signaling in the midbrain periaqueductal grey PAG using whole-cell voltage-clamp technique. In continuing this research, I will investigate changes to this signaling system, specifically in the regulation of the cannabinoid type 2 CB2 receptor, during chronic pain states. One glance at national statistics tells a clear story — this country has a pain problem — which more and more commonly opioid medications are prescribed to treat.
Although the short-term benefits of these medications can be great, opioid use can have serious side effects, including high rates of addiction, and even death. Thankfully, cannabinoid treatments may offer an alternative, with nearly unlimited anecdotal reports extoling the powerful analgesic effects of natural cannabis products.
I believe that by elucidating the variable regulation of cannabinoid receptors in critical nociceptive modulatory regions such as the PAG, we will be able to start formulating more specific, more efficacious, and non-addictive analgesic alternatives. The application opens on November 1, and closes on February 1,
