GRIPS offers a free, immersive, hands-on genomics research experience in a Stanford University lab, specifically tailored for local high school students.
The Genomics Research Internship Program at Stanford (GRIPS) is an eight-week, research-intensive experience designed for Bay Area high school students. Participants are placed in a Stanford research laboratory where they conduct hands-on genomics research under the guidance of a lab mentor. The program emphasizes immersive research, professional development, and community building. Students gain practical experience in computational genetics and genomics, working four hours a day, five days a week. Beyond lab work, the internship includes participation in panels and seminars on career paths in biomedical research, as well as regular check-in meetings with their research mentors. The program aims to introduce high school students to biomedical research and foster an interest in STEM fields.
A typical day involves four hours of genomics research in a Stanford lab, usually from 9am to 1pm, with additional participation in program activities like seminars and mentor check-ins.
This program is ideal for local Bay Area high school students aged 16 or older with some prior knowledge of biology, chemistry, or computer programming, who are interested in gaining their first hands-on biomedical research experience.
