The Prevention Research Center for Healthy Neighborhoods (PRCHN) has summer research opportunities available through its internship program. The opportunities include work on a diverse range of projects and initiatives on topics such as childhood and adolescent obesity, food deserts and access to healthy food, community gardens, adolescent health risk behaviors, use of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits at farmers’ markets, and tobacco use among young adults.
Undergraduate students, graduate students or experienced researchers are all encouraged to apply. In the program, individuals may work specifically on one project, but will also have the opportunity to gain an overview of all the research and surveillance conducted at the center.
