The Johns Hopkins Biophysics Research for Baltimore Teens (BRBT) program offers a rigorous and rewarding summer research program for rising 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students interested in careers in science, medicine, and public health. There are a small number of internship slots available each summer, so the program is competitive.
BRBT is a five-week program that runs July 7 – August 7, 2026. The program is 25 hours per week, 10am-4pm Monday-Friday, and is located on the JHU Homewood Campus in Baltimore, MD.
Participants engage in hands-on scientific research while completing advanced coursework in scientific writing, data analysis, mathematics, and bioethics. Through sustained daily work and mentorship in leading research laboratories, students strengthen their critical thinking skills, develop technical laboratory competencies, and grow both personally and professionally.
In accordance with applicable law, race, ethnicity, and other legally protected characteristics will not be considered in the selection process.
Please note there is one application for both the BRBT and the Summer Academic Research Experience (SARE) programs. The requirements are the same for both programs. You will have the option to select the program you’re interested in on the ‘Program Details’ page.
Applications for our Summer 2026 program are now closed. Thank you to all who applied.
