HIP IMO High School Internship Program (Moffitt Cancer Center)

HIP IMO places high school students ages 16 and up with faculty mentors in Moffitt's Integrated Mathematical Oncology department for an eight-week summer of interdisciplinary cancer research on the University of South Florida campus in Tampa. Interns design a research project with their mentor, join lab meetings, keep a research journal, give a 15-minute talk at the program's research day, and write a three-page scientific report. Selected students receive a $1,000 scholarship; the program provides the computer equipment and software.
