Internship Overview

The Summer Undergraduate Research Program at the Lurie Center for Autism provides an opportunity for hands-on training in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and experience in clinical and translational research. The MGH Lurie Center for Autism, based in Lexington, Massachusetts, is now accepting applications to our Summer 2023 internship session. 

Interns will be matched with a Lurie Center faculty mentor to conduct an individual research project. Interns will meet weekly with their faculty mentor and interact regularly with other research staff. In addition, the program includes seminars on ASD and the fundamentals of research, as well as the opportunity to observe clinical care (neurology, psychology, psychiatry, among other specialties).
