WiN’s internships are 10 weeks long with approximately 40 hours of research and activities a week. Students are placed into a lab or clinic studying an aspect of neuroscience with a research mentor and their team. They spend their internship learning lab basics, working on a research project, attending professional development seminars, meeting up with their small groups to form relationships and debrief on their experiences, and attending socials to further strengthen their cohort.

Over seven years, WiN has provided 96 research experiences, $300,000 in scholarships, and transformative opportunities to women from all over Texas. We have a 97% college graduation rate. Of our 36 interns who have graduated, one has completed medical school and begun her residency program, six are currently pursuing their PhD, six have entered into Medical School, and 17 are working in a STEM-related field. WiN provides letters of recommendation and application support for our community.

WiN was founded on the principle of providing competitive stipends in order to ensure our interns can fully focus on their summer of experiential learning. The practice of not providing pay for undergraduate research and lab experience has often been a barrier for historically excluded students to enter the sciences: They can not afford to live, support their families, and fund their education without being paid for their work.
