Our Inclusive NOAA Fisheries InternSHip (IN FISH) is a partnership program between NOAA and research partners in academia and non-governmental research institutions. It is a 10-week paid undergraduate internship for U.S. citizens in an NOAA or partner institution marine research lab or marine resources program office.
The internship is a 10-week experience that includes a 2-week course available for credit through the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and 8 weeks of project experience working with a mentor in science or management. A $5,000 stipend is provided to each participant, with tuition and course supplies also covered.
The IN FISH Program is modeled after the Woods Hole Partnership Education Program and Alaska Partnership Education Program internship programs. The structure can vary due to program needs, for example, student interests, program format (virtual, in-person, hybrid), or laboratory location. The basic structure will consist of:
All undergraduate students who are enrolled in an undergraduate program at the time of the application period and are U.S. citizens and U.S Nationals are eligible to apply and participate.
Our 2023 projects are listed here. For more information on prior year activities, review the research projects IN FISH students completed in 2021 and 2022.
We have selected our 2023 class. If you apply to the 2024 program, you will have a chance to indicate which mentors or projects interest you. If you secure a spot, we will take your interests into account when we match students with mentors. Soon after we extend offers, we make matches and put students in touch with their mentors to discuss potential projects.
