The Diversity Summer Internship Program (DSIP) is an 8-week summer program that provides highly qualified undergraduates with graduate-level research experience in the biomedical or public health field. In addition to their research placements, interns engage in professional leadership development focused on critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills.
While DSIP is administered through the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Center for Indigenous Health offers dedicated opportunities within the program. Each year, the Center supports up to three DSIP interns who work on research projects led by Center faculty most of whom are Indigenous or have worked in close partnership with Indigenous communities for many years. These placements allow interns to contribute to impactful community-based research while gaining mentorship from accomplished Johns Hopkins researchers in a collaborative, challenging, and supportive environment.
