Purpose

To contribute to a diverse ocean workforce that understands technical and social challenges facing coastal communities and the natural environment and prepare undergraduate students for graduate school and careers in marine science, policy, management and outreach.

Oregon Sea Grant is excited to announce our 15th annual undergraduate Summer Scholars Program

This PAID ten-week program runs from June 16 – August 22^nd and places a diversity* of undergraduate students from around the country with a variety of Oregon-based host organizations (Tribal, public agency, non-profit, non-governmental) to provide students with hands-on experience under the mentorship of a career professional. Scholars can assist host agencies with field work, lab work, analyses, research, policy development and/or outreach and public engagement efforts.

*Diversity refers to persons from various cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds who contribute perspectives stemming from their lived experiences, skills and interests.

In addition to aligning with Oregon Sea Grant’s vision, mission and values, the goals of the Oregon Sea Grant Scholars Program are:

Prepare students for graduate school and/or careers in marine science, policy, management and outreach through funding support and hands on experience.
Support host organization program initiatives and facilitate scholars’ understanding of their work’s importance in accomplishing the broader host organization goals.
Promote integration of diverse perspectives into problem solving for coastal Oregon to provide richer and more inclusive solutions.

The Summer Scholars Program encourages student success during and after their internship through cultivating an inclusive environment, creating a broad professional network in the marine field, offering professional development opportunities with an emphasis on science communication and fostering a supportive mentor/mentee relationship.

In 2025, the Oregon Sea Grant Summer Scholars may participate in some activities of the National Sea Grant Community Engaged Internship Program, which is designed for undergraduate students from underrepresented and indigenous communities. The overarching goal of this internship program is to broaden participation in marine and coastal professions by providing training and mentorship to the next generation of scientists, decision-makers and citizens

What to Expect – the details below are subject to change

Summer Scholar Expectations: Scholars will be placed with the Oregon Sea Grant Program, a federal or state agency, Tribal, or non-governmental organization, and will assist host agencies with field work, lab work, analyses, research, policy development and/or outreach and public engagement efforts. They will be assigned to a specific project under a mentor and will be expected to dedicate at least 40 hours a week to the program. The program will provide students with training on subjects such as ecosystem-based management, professional and scientific communication, field- and lab-based scientific methods, natural resource policy development, public outreach and roles of federal, state, Tribal and local governments in natural resource management. The program may include field trips within Oregon and an opportunity for students to present their summer work. Scholars will be expected to participate in all program activities and complete a final project report during the last week of their experience. Scholars will be expected to participate in the program in-person or remotely, depending on the requirements of their assigned position.

Eligibility: Any undergraduate student who is currently enrolled in any U.S. college or university (or who has graduated within one year prior to the application deadline of February 17, 2025) may apply. Students from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Foreign nationals please note: while this opportunity is open to all eligible students regardless of nationality, some participating host offices are unable to accept international applicants. This may reduce the number of placement opportunities available to foreign nationals. Also, additional taxes may be applied to your stipend, depending on your country’s tax treaty with the U.S. Work authorization paperwork must be completed by students prior to the start date of the internship.

Link to application website here. Internship duration: June 16 – Aug 15, 2025. Full-time (40 hours/week). Stipend: $5,000 for undergraduate students; $6,000 for graduate students.

Eligibility

Undergraduate students enrolled in an accredited college or university who will have completed at least two years of college (i.e. juniors and seniors only) by the OHIP summer and students enrolled in graduate programs are eligible to apply. Recent graduates cannot be out of school for more than six months prior to the start of OHIP (i.e. for summer 2025, students are not eligible if they graduated prior to December of 2024).

Our funding agencies do not allow us to provide internships to anyone considered post-doctorate (i.e. anyone who has an MD or a PhD by the summer of 2025 is NOT eligible for OHIP). In addition, we cannot offer positions to students who have doctorate degrees and are now pursuing a graduate degree (i.e. MD or MBBS pursuing an MPH).

A program of study in occupational health and safety is not a requirement. Your application should explain the link between your current area of study and workplace health and safety. For undergraduates, this could include public health, environmental studies, public policy, and other related studies. At the graduate level we often seek students enrolled in medicine, nursing, or public health programs, but consider students from other disciplines.

Student stipends comes from a federal government program which restricts student support to U.S. citizens and Alien/Permanent Residents (Green card holders). All students must provide evidence of being able to work in the U.S. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (“DACA”) individuals or undocumented individuals are eligible to apply for the OHIP program. If accepted into the program, DACA students will have to provide an unexpired Employee Authorization Document (EAD) prior to participating in the program. It is possible that this program may change. Please contact Ingrid Denis at 1-888-347-2632 if you are a DACA applicant.

All student interns will be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 prior to the start of the OHIP summer. A fully vaccinated person includes those who have received their necessary booster dose(s). Additionally, all interns will be required to have a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending the OHIP Orientation at UCLA (June 16-18).

Transportation & Housing

OHIP will cover transportation costs to the 3-day orientation at UCLA. However, OHIP does not cover transportation costs to your host site, or commuting costs.

OHIP does not cover housing costs directly and hopes the stipend will help interns cover the cost of housing at the host site.

Health Effects Institute (HEI) is excited to continue its Summer Fellowship Program for another year! The program aims to encourage undergraduate students from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the environmental health sciences to explore research opportunities in this area. Environmental health fields are defined broadly and include environmental exposure assessment, epidemiology, public health, and environmental justice among other areas. A list of previous year fellows, mentors, and research projects is available here.

The program provides financial support for a 10-week summer fellowship during the months of June through August. Start and end dates will be flexible based on academic calendars, with office hours occurring between June 2 and August 22. The program is run in collaboration with the International Society of Exposure Science and the International Society for Environmental Epidemiology. The fellowship is open to mentors and students based in the United States. A joint HEI/ISEE/ISES committee selects prospective fellows and matches them with mentors at academic and nonprofit institutions and state or local government institutions.

Overview

Fellowship applications are now open! Fellows will spend the summer developing and conducting research alongside a mentor at an academic institution or non-profit organization. Applicants are not required to have a background in life sciences but should be motivated to learn more about environmental health sciences as a potential career path.

We have lined up an exciting list of 26 mentors across the United States who are excited to host fellows and share their knowledge and ideas and can give you a flavor of what environmental health research is like.

To foster connections among fellows, HEI staff will plan several activities throughout the program, including office hours and career conversations. Fellows will be expected to work with their mentors to prepare a proposal describing their plans for the summer and to deliver mid-summer and final presentations. More detailed information about the fellowship can be found in the preliminary Summer Fellowship Syllabus 2025 and will be provided to selected fellows.

Eligibility

Applicants must be a college junior or senior the fall after the fellowship and authorized to work in the United States. The program will require about 40 hours per week over the fellowship period and fellows should not be taking more than one summer class.

This fellowship is intended as a first or early research experience for students coming from backgrounds underrepresented in environmental health research. Therefore, potential applicants to the summer fellowship should self-identify as coming from an underrepresented or disadvantaged background defined as follows:

1) Indigenous or underrepresented race or ethnicity group in environmental health research as defined by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH).
2) Individuals with disabilities (physical or mental impairments that substantially limit major life activities).
3) Other socially disadvantaged groups (first generation to attend college, sexual orientation/gender identity, or other).

Application process

Fellowship applications are now open. Please review the list of opportunities, select three opportunities you are most interested in, and then follow this link to apply. You can also download a list of the questions Fellowship Application 2025 on the application. Contact us at fellowship@healtheffects.org if you have questions. The deadline for applying is January 6, 2025, with decisions made in the spring.

Decisions will be made no later than March 2025 and all selected fellows will each be matched with a mentor. Stipends will be $8,000 for the summer of 2025, and the stipend amount will be reviewed and adjusted annually.

Evaluation Process

Applications will be evaluated based on an applicant’s goals and motivation to pursue environmental health research, description of how the fellowship provides an opportunity not otherwise available, background and academic progress, and current skills and those the applicant would like to acquire. Each application will be reviewed by one member of ISEE and one member of ISES. The joint committee that includes members of HEI staff, ISEE, and ISES will then select finalists based on the scoring of applications. Finalists will be reviewed by the mentors identified by those applicants to ensure a good fit with the project. A final selection will be made by the selection committee. Decisions will be communicated to applicants no later than the end of March 2025.

Research Opportunities

Selected fellows are matched with mentors at institutions across the United States based on their preferences as indicated in the applications. In the list of mentor opportunities, each mentor indicates what the fellow can expect in terms of the research environment, who will supervise them and how often, what skills might be gained, and how many fellow students they may interact with.

Read more about the mentor opportunities.

Mentor Opportunities

Please review the list carefully and select 3 opportunities in which you are interested. Each year, the list is organized by geographic location, recognizing that it might be easier to take advantage of an opportunity closer to where you live or attend school. In addition to the project itself, you should consider other factors that could help determine what might be a great opportunity for you, such as the type of research, what skills you might gain, and how many other students and researchers there are in the lab. As part of your application process, you will be asked to indicate which opportunities interest you most strongly and why. This information is used in the application review and to match fellows with mentors. We aim to match selected fellows with one of their top three mentor choices, but we cannot guarantee specific matches.

Information for Prospective Mentors

Mentorship applications are now closed and will reopen in fall 2025 for the following summer. At that time, we will invite researchers at academic and nonprofit institutions and state and local governments to apply to host an undergraduate student and serve as a research mentor. Mentors get the opportunity to support the careers of undergraduates from backgrounds underrepresented in environmental health sciences, and fellows also can meaningfully contribute to their mentors’ ongoing projects. Types of research opportunities that mentors can provide might include bench science, data analysis, field work, and modeling. Please note that HEI will financially support the fellows with a stipend, facilitate the matching process, and provide office hours support, but that the mentors are expected to provide the research project and include their fellow in their lab or departmental activities.

The application will ask you to answer some questions about yourself and your research:
• What can the fellow expect in terms of the research environment?
• Who will supervise them and how often?
• What opportunities will the fellow have to interact with other students?
• What will be the in-person experience of the fellow if you are matched?
This information will not be used to select mentors. Rather, it is meant to provide prospective fellows with information that helps them to decide which opportunities they would prefer if selected for the fellowship.

Program expectations for mentors:

• Host the fellow in your lab for an in-person experience (or remote if your organization operates completely remote) for the 10-week period. Note that fellows may take one summer class but are expected to be present full-time (defined as 5 days per week for 40 hours).

• Attend a mentor training call before the start of the program.

• Meet formally with the fellow at least once a week.

• Ensure that you, or another member of your research group, have daily interactions with the fellow to support both the project and professional development.

• Work with the fellow at the start to define the project and deliverables; the fellow is required to send a 2-page proposal to HEI two weeks after the start date (we will provide a template).

• Help the fellow prepare for mid-summer and end-of-summer presentations. Mentors are strongly encouraged to attend the presentations if their schedules allow.

• Be prepared to make necessary accessibility accommodations for your fellow should they need them and/or to connect your fellow with the institution’s accessibility office.

Expanding the fellowship program

HEI welcomes contributions from individuals and organizations to maintain and grow the fellowship program in future years! If you would like to discuss opportunities to grow the program, please email us at fellowship@healtheffects.org. If you would like to donate to the fellowship program either online or via mail, please visit the donation page.

Joint Committee

A joint committee with representatives from HEI, ISEE, and ISES manages the fellowship program. HEI thanks both societies for their support and time and prospective mentors for volunteering to take these summer fellows under their wing. Members of the joint committee are as follows:

Carrie Breton, University of Southern California and ISEE North America Chapter Executive Council
Christine Ekenga, Emory University and ISES Diversity Committee
Honghyok Kim, University of Illinois Chicago and ISEE Capacity Building and Education Committee (CAPE)
Donghai Liang, Emory University and ISES Diversity Committee
Peng Gao, Harvard University and ISES Diversity Committee
