Applications Open: Summer 2025 Clinical and Health Research Professional Pathways (CHRPP) Program

The Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) offers a Clinical and Health Research Professional Pathways (CHRPP) Program for students pursuing a degree in health sciences from colleges and universities in Michigan. The ten-week full-time program is a paid hands-on research training program that combines curricular workshops and immersive research team shadowing experiences to build key research skills competencies. Continued part-time employment with a clinical or health research team beyond the program end date may be available.

ELIGIBILITY AND REQUIREMENTS:

The program is open to students currently enrolled in a certificate, associate, or bachelor’s degree-granting health science program at a college or university in Michigan.

Applicants should be interested in careers in clinical and health research at the staff research coordination level, as opposed to the level of a faculty role (i.e., MD, PhD).

Program dates are June 2 – August 8, 2025. Program dates are NOT flexible. You must be able to participate full-time for the duration of the program.

Approximately 10 hours per week will be spent in workshops and activities completed through remote learning in a virtual classroom setting. The experiential shadowing hours will take place in a hybrid (in-person and remote) environment, working with research teams based on the U-M Ann Arbor campus.

All program participants will be required to attend in-person orientation and capstone events on the U-M campus during Week 1 (June 2-6) and Week 10 (August 4-8).

Admitted participants will be hired as temporary U-M employees. The program will fund students at $18/hour for all time spent on program elements, which will amount to 35-40 hours per week. Health care and other benefits are not provided.

Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
