Over the past five years, the Sino-American Cancer Foundation’s (SACF) Summer Research Program has provided students with hands-on experience to learn, study, and participate in a real-world lab environment alongside industry scientists. As part of our goal to cultivate a new generation of biomedical researchers, this program provides a unique learning experience for students to learn about science through experience and research rather than the textbook.

This program was created to help cultivate any motivated high school or undergraduate college student interested in biomedical research as a potential college major or future career path. Participating students will be partnered with an SACF scientist for at least eight weeks, learning and working in multiple research disciplines.

Applicants must be at least on his/her high school 11th grade (Junior Year) or above to apply.

Applicants must be available to commit to the full program period of at least 8 continuous weeks.
Applicants must bring one letter of recommendation from a STEM teacher or professor.

Only a maximum of 4 students will be accepted each year for the program. To apply, please email admin@sacfamerica.org along with your letter of recommendation.
