The Summer Research Trainee Program (SRTP) is a program at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) that pairs students with an Mass General faculty preceptor to provide guidance and mentorship in a new or ongoing research project. The Mass General Center for Diversity and Inclusion founded the program in 1992 for students historically underrepresented in medicine (UiM)* who are interested in academic medicine and/or biomedical research. This year the program starts with the orientation on Monday, June 3, 2024, and ends on Friday, July 26, 2024.

- Member of a group that is underrepresented in medicine (UiM)*
- Undergraduate junior or senior; rising first-year medical student; first-year medical student; graduate-school student; or post-baccalaureate student
- Attended/attending a college, graduate school or medical school in the U.S. and Puerto Rico
