At a glance

The Summer Program for the Advancement of Research Knowledge (SPARK) at Moffitt Cancer Center is a 10-week, donor-funded internship designed to immerse undergraduate students in cancer research. Interns collaborate with leading scientists across various specialties, gaining hands-on experience in a premier oncology research environment. SPARK provides undergraduates with a comprehensive research experience, working full-time on projects in fields such as Immunology, Bioinformatics, Cancer Epidemiology, Drug Discovery, and more. Interns are expected to commit 40 hours per week and participate in a scientific communications course, culminating in a presentation of their research findings.
