Columbia University Primer (Environmental Health Research Program) Info Session

This is an exciting, paid opportunity for undergraduate students at local NYC schools to conduct research at Columbia University.

PrIMER trainees commit to a two-year program beginning June before their junior year through December of their senior year. Trainees are paired with a Columbia University faculty member who serves as a research and academic mentor throughout the program. Trainees conduct laboratory research in environmental health sciences, attend weekly professional development workshops, and interact closely with Columbia University faculty.

Each fall, trainees present their summer research experience at the PrIMER Research Symposium that takes place during our departmental seminar and is attended by faculty, students, and research staff. Trainees work with their mentor to continue research during the academic year.
