Providing crucial, early-career paid opportunities in the regenerative medicine sector to talented undergraduate and graduate students whose backgrounds and life experiences have shaped their unique perspectives.
Thanks to the work of the Action For Equality Task Force (AFE), ARM launched the GROW RegenMed Internship Program in 2020. Today, the GROW Internship Program provides crucial, early-career paid summer internship opportunities in the regenerative medicine sector to talented undergraduate and graduate students whose backgrounds and life experiences have shaped their unique perspectives. By focusing on each applicant’s personal journey, the program aims to foster diversity and build a community of future leaders in the sector.
ARM represents 400+ organizations in the cell, gene, and tissue-based therapies sector that target a range of diseases and disorders. Interns are placed at these companies for 12 weeks during the summer to gain experience and exposure to the vast career opportunities within the regenerative medicine sector. ARM and the AFE Task Force believe that improving the representation of diverse backgrounds and life experiences at ARM member organizations and cultivating a community of these future leaders is fundamental to achieving the full promise of our work.
