About Internships
Do an internship!
Helping our trainees achieve a broad and deep understanding of biotechnology and its
applications to plant and microbial sciences is a core goal for the PBHS program at
MSU. To help achieve this goal, all NIH funded fellows are required to do an 8-10
week long internship at a commercial, not for profit, or governmental organization.
These must occur during the fellowship funding period, typically in the summer between
first and second or second and third year. Other trainees are encouraged to do an
internship and the Executive Committee and Trainers will work with all interested
parties to try to identify a great match to your interests.
