The WV-INBRE program will provide funding for nine-week biomedical science research internship positions for high school science educators. A maximum of five internships will be available.  

HSTA teachers or teachers from HSTA-affiliated schools may be given preference in the selection process. Internships run May 26-July 28. Based on the high school’s academic calendar, start dates are flexible; however, employment dates end July 28. Compensation of $9,000 ($1000/week) will be provided for the full nine weeks, or $1000 for each 40-hour week worked.
