About the Program

The University of Arizona KEYS Research Internship offers summer internships to motivated high school students who have a strong interest in pursuing advanced education or training in the bioscience or biomedical fields.

Learning takes place under the guidance of a UA researcher. The KEYS Research Internships for high school students are coordinated by a certified teacher and outreach coordinator.

The program is a partnership between multiple programs across The Univeristy of Arizona (UA) campus, coordinated by the BIO5 Institute and the Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC), in collaboration with the Joint Technological Education District.

Program dates are from June 9, 2008 - July 18, 2008.
