In Summer 2024, the Interdisciplinary Science and Research Program launched the S³Ü³¾³¾±ð°ùÌýH¾±²µ³ó-²õ³¦³ó´Ç´Ç±ôÌýInternships in R±ð²õ±ð²¹°ù³¦³óÌýExperiences (SHIRE) program in partnership with  and the Nashville . This unique, paid internship offers rising juniors and seniors within the ISR programs the opportunity to engage in invaluable hands-on research, skill development, and communication activities. Students work alongside scientists from ×ÔοÊÓÆµâ€™s Collaborative for STEM Education and Outreach and educators from their home ISR schools. In the Summer of 2026, rising juniors delved into Pharmacology and Sustainable Engineering, exploring fields such as cell culturing and water quality, respectively. Rising seniors developed individual research projects to continue during the fall semester at their home high schools. This internship not only provides a stipend but also offers the chance to work on personalized projects and gain real-world research experience while working with leading experts in the field.
