Frequently Asked Questions
Lab-based tracks require on-site presence for safety and equipment access. Data Science, Pharmacovigilance, and Regulatory tracks offer approved hybrid or fully remote configurations depending on site capacity and compliance requirements.
Yes. We issue official letters of verification, detailed learning objectives, and mid/final evaluation reports tailored to your university’s requirements. Our HR team will coordinate directly with your academic advisor.
All inventions, datasets, and publications created during the internship are governed by our standard Intern IP Agreement. You will retain academic authorship rights for thesis work, subject to review for confidentiality and patent strategy alignment.
Sponsorship is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and depends on local immigration policies. We actively support J-1, Tier 2, and equivalent research visas where legally permissible. Early application is strongly recommended.
Interns present their findings to a panel of division scientists, program managers, and leadership. Evaluations are based on scientific rigor, data interpretation, communication clarity, and practical applicability. Exceptional projects may fast-track to publication or internal pilot funding.
