The Southwest Association for Education in Biomedical Research sponsors an essay contest each year for high school students. Winners in the Tucson and Phoenix metropolitan areas receive a paid summer internship, which could range from 6 to 10 weeks, dependent on student and institution schedules, working in a research lab in one of the following institutions: Arizona State
University, Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital, Harrington Arthritis Research Center,
Mayo
Clinic - Scottsdale, Sun Health Research Institute, or The University of Arizona.
Winners from other high schools who may be unable to work in the
metropolitan areas receive a cash award of $150. |
Would you or your company like to
sponsor a student intern or teacher award? |
The purpose of this contest is to help identify and recognize
students who can demonstrate superior understanding of the scientific process used in
research, the importance of the use of animals in the medical and biological sciences, and
who can artfully communicate that understanding in writing. All entries are judged on the
basis of scientific accuracy, logic, originality, creativity, command of the English
language and an understanding of the scientific process and the importance of use of
animals in research.

"How Has Biomedical Research Using Animals Benefited a
Pet, You, or Someone You Know?" |
