The Summer Scholars Program is a competitive summer research internship working with a faculty member of Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters (CHKD) or Macon and Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at ODU on one of their current projects.

Find out more details about the program. 

Students chosen for the program will conduct a pre-selected, mentored research project and present their project outcomes to the scientific community. This summer experience includes didactic research training and personalized application in research design, implementation and presentation. Take a look at our Summer Scholars Abstract Booklet from a previous summer.
