CHOP Research Institute Summer Scholars Program (CRISSP)

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute Summer Scholars Program (CRISSP) is a 10-week internship designed to inspire undergraduate students to pursue careers in pediatric research and academic medicine through training in theoretical knowledge and research as well as critical exposure to pediatric-focused career trajectories under the direct mentorship of CHOP faculty.

As part of their research experience, students complete an independent research project and present a poster at the conclusion of the program. Opportunities are available in basic/translational, clinical, and behavioral research teams. In addition to research, students participate in professional development and clinical shadowing opportunities.
