The BETA Center now hosts the Biomedical Engineering Summer Internship Program (BESIP) summer program under the guidance of Dr. Robert Lutz, BESIP Program Director. Engineering and science students interested in biomedical engineering research will come to the NIH campus for 10 weeks of an intensive in-person research experience allowing students to participate in cutting-edge biomedical research projects under the mentorship of world-class scientists and engineers in NIH labs. Potential projects for BESIP interns in 2024 are listed below. Central to BETA Center’s mission is employing evidence-driven approaches to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion within NIBIB’s Intramural Research Program and recruiting diverse biomedical engineering and imaging talent to NIH.
