The OAACD hosts three exciting programs for students during the summer, and we are grateful to all CCHMC faculty members who have been involved. We have an additional opportunity to get involved with the students and would like to extend an invitation to join us as a poster judge for the SURF and BRIMS Capstone Poster Symposium on the morning of July 31st.
These students are potential future graduate students, fellows, and faculty, and your interactions with them on this day are highly valuable! If you have the time to judge, please use the link below to sign up by July 10, 2024. Feel free to send the link to others who may be interested in judging too.

Information about the Pathway Programs
Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship
The Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program at Cincinnati Children’s offers undergraduates the chance to explore clinical, translational, and basic science research in laboratories in the Department of Pediatrics, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. The primary goal is to provide students with a foundation for making career choices in the biomedical sciences.
SURF students work 40 hours per week for 9-10 weeks during the summer starting May 25th or 30th and ending August 4th. Students have the opportunity to sign up and present their research at the end-of-summer Capstone event. The students are paid $13 per hour and are funded by the mentor’s division or grant funds.

Biomedical Research Internship for Minority Students
The Biomedical Research Internship for Minority Students (BRIMS) Program offers an outstanding science training opportunity for Cincinnati area graduating high school seniors and college freshmen. The program is designed to involve minority students traditionally underrepresented in biomedical careers in cutting‐edge scientific research conducted in an academic medical center to stimulate their interest in pursuing biomedical research careers.
BRIMS students work 40 hours per week for 9 weeks during the summer starting June 5th and ending August 4th. Students have the opportunity to sign up and present their research at the end-of-summer Capstone event. The students are paid $13 per hour and are funded by the mentor’s division or grant/endowment funds. Students are matched with their mentor based on their personal essays and interviews, depending on funding.

High School Summer Internship Program
The High School Senior Summer Internship Program is a paid, part-time position for Cincinnati-area graduating high school seniors only. The program is very competitive, offering an exciting opportunity for highly motivated students interested in pursuing higher education (MD, PhD, or MD / PhD) to learn more about careers in Medicine and Clinical Research. All Summer interns will shadow their primary mentor in the clinic and can participate in clinical or research projects.
HSSSI students work part-time for 20 hours per week = for 8 weeks during the summer starting on June 6th and ending on August 1. The students are paid $13 per hour and are funded by the mentor’s division or grant funds.
