Participants may be scheduled for interviews with NCI Investigators recruiting summer or post-baccalaureate interns. Internship offers will be made by individual investigators through the ICRC program office.

ICRC interns are provided with travel support and a monthly stipend with summer housing subsidy.
All interns are required to carry health insurance. No-cost health insurance is available for interns who work a minimum of three months.
