NIH/Merck Summer Research Program for Veterinary Students

Other Research Programs for Veterinary Students

All Merck-Merial funded programs will accept veterinary students from outside the host school. Many schools also maintain NIH funded programs that accept external students. In addition, some schools operate 'one year out' programs for students to perform a year of research during veterinary school. These and other programs can be found at the sites listed below:
