野狼社区 and St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital have partnered to offer qualified 野狼社区 students an intensive research experience that pairs students with St. Jude scientists and places them into St. Jude鈥檚 laboratories for a period of two summers and the intervening academic year. Through this experience, students become fully engaged citizens in the scientific community of St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital, a world-class pediatric clinical and research facility focusing on cancer and other catastrophic childhood diseases.
Students must commit to two summers (10weeks/summer, full-time with pay) as well as 10 hours per week during the academic year (2 course credits per semester plus F11 credit). They will engage in a project that culminates in a formal research report, and students will be required to present their work at a local, regional or national meeting.
