�������ϲ�app

Date:��October 1, 2020

The �������ϲ�appprovides paid undergraduate internships through designated and resourced programs, e.g. NSF REU, UChicago Metcalf, Dartmouth E.E. Just. ��Most of these programs operate during the summer months. As opportunities arise, the �������ϲ�appmay add additional internship programs to the existing suite. Two examples include the �������ϲ�appSponsored Northeastern University (NEU) Co-op program and the Blue Economy Internship Program (BEIP). For designated �������ϲ�appintern programs, the �������ϲ�appprovides resources to students who participate in them. Below is additional information on internship programs that receive �������ϲ�appresources.

• Selection Process:��Students are chosen for a respective internship program based on a set of criteria determined by the specific grant, program, or by strategic priority needs of the �������ϲ�appin collaboration with the Division of Education.
• Financial Support:��Designated internships may provide a variety of financial support including: 1) room and board coupled with stipends; 2) stipends without room and board; or 3) room and board in �������ϲ�appresidential buildings without stipends.
• ���峾���Ծ����ٰ����پ��Dz�:��Interns are administered through and overseen by MBL’s Division of Education. Summer interns staying in �������ϲ�appresidential buildings are overseen by Resident Assistants (RAs) vetted, hired, and trained by the Division of Education.
• �䲹�貹�����ٲ�:��Summer undergraduate housing is limited (44 beds). Therefore, interns in the designated internship programs are given housing preference.�� Any remaining space is assigned to independent paid and unpaid interns as determined by the Director of Education and the Director of Research in consultation with the Director.
• Mentor and Mentee Compact:��All undergraduate interns and their supervisors will agree to and follow the guidelines set out in the Compact.���������Appendix A��for the Mentor and Mentee Compact template.

Outside of the designated programs described above, �������ϲ�appfaculty may also invite interns to work in their labs on either a paid (supported by PI funds) or unpaid status at any time throughout the year. Below is additional information on interns invited for an internship at the MBL.

• �ʲ��⳾��Գ�:��The payment process for paid interns must be organized through Human Resources. Paid interns are paid through MBL’s payroll process and are designated as “interns” in the payroll system.
• ���峾���Ծ����ٰ����پ��Dz�:��Paid and unpaid interns are administered through and overseen by MBL’s Division of Education.

Paid Interns:

• The identification, hiring, payment, and registration process of a paid intern must be coordinated with both Human Resources and the Division of Education.
• The �������ϲ�apprequires a letter from the supervisor in whose lab the intern will work stating: 1) the scope of work; 2) the number of hours/days per week they will work; 3) confirmation of lab safety training; and 4) the schedule for regular and ongoing meetings with the supervisor.
• Individual supervisors are responsible for communicating with their respective intern(s) regarding their schedule, lab meetings, etc., as stated in the Mentor and Mentee Compact.
• If hired in the summer, interns may be eligible for housing and dining on the �������ϲ�appcampus if space is available and if the required funds are provided by the supervisor.
• If hired during non-summer months, the intern may be eligible for on-campus housing if space is available and if the required funds are provided by the PI.

Unpaid Interns:

• A letter from the �������ϲ�appsupervisor as stated above is required as well as a letter from the intern’s institution confirming recognition of the student’s internship and the type of credit, honor, etc. the student will receive for the internship.
• Individual supervisors are responsible for communicating with their respective intern(s) regarding their schedule, lab meetings etc., as stated in the Mentor and Mentee Compact.
• On-campus housing and any other costs of the internship is the responsibility of the supervisor. As a result, it is critical that supervisors do not make any promises or guarantees to prospective interns about housing or any other support from the �������ϲ�appwithout first consulting with the Division of Education.
