Next Gen Scientists Foundation (registered under the Trust act of India 1882) offers an opportunity to fund internships for undergraduate and postgraduate students who wish to gain research experience in life sciences. Interns will conduct independent research under the mentorship of Principal Investigator/Professor of their interest at Indian institutes. This year, they will continue to accept applications for remote internships in Computational Biology, in addition to the usual on-site internships. However, please note that remote interns will comprise a maximum of 20% of the final selected cohort. NGS interns can apply to get their final year thesis projects funded starting 2026.
NGS Interns will receive a stipend amount of INR 6000 per month for on-site internships and INR 3000 for remote internships for a period of up to 3 months upon satisfying requirements . For on-site interns, travel will also be reimbursed up to the cost of a III class AC train ticket (round-trip).
The internship can span any two to three month period between May and July 2025.
Besides funding your research experience, our program also emphasizes on effective scientific communication. During the internship period, interns are required to contribute an article to NGS blog and submit a monthly progress report. At the end of the program, participants should give a presentation on their experience as a part of the NGS Internship webinar program.
Starting from 2022, candidates who have been selected as NGSF interns get the added benefit of applying to get support during their Bachelors/Masters thesis research work after their internship period. The only requirements for applying to the program are 1) Be selected as part of the NGSF Internship Program previously and 2) Perform your dissertation/thesis work outside of your institute of study. If selected, we will provide a stipend of INR 6000 per month for up to 6 month
