Undergraduate Volunteer Program

Volunteers in this program assist with clinical research projects in a variety of ways, including confirming and scheduling appointments; data collection and entry; and compiling and submitting essential documents in accordance with institutional guidelines. Volunteers will have the opportunity each week to share their time conducting administrative/research-related tasks, shadowing clinical research coordinators, and attending learning-based events based on specific interests.

Volunteers will spend 8-10 hours per week at our center in New York City and must commit for at least two semesters. Applications open at the beginning of 2024 and close mid-March. For more information, please contact us at birc@mountsinai.org
