High schoolers, undergraduates and medical students in Indiana CTSI summer programs will showcase their research in July
An important part of the Indiana CTSI’s mission is strengthening the future research workforce. We offer several summer programs for students at various stages to prepare them for future careers in research. In each of these programs, participants work with a faculty mentor on research project, create a poster and then present their work at the conclusion of the program at a symposium event.
The Indiana CTSI invites all faculty, trainees, students, and staff to attend these events and support these students.
SEED/STEM
