PRiT Application Form

2026 CARE Physician Researchers in Training (PRiT) Program Application

Application materials will be accepted through February 27, 2026, allowing BU students to apply to the MSSRP program as well (BU MSSRP deadline is March 6th). After you submit your application, a confirmation email will automatically be sent to your email (check your spam folder). If you do not receive a confirmation email, that means your application was not submitted and we did not receive it. Please ensure all required fields are filled out and resubmit your application.

To complete the application process, we require:
1) A CV or resume.
2) A summary of learning goals (500 words or less) that describes your relevant background and learning goals for the summer.
