High school students visit the NIEHS campus
Students from an area high school visit the NIEHS campus in Research Triangle Park, NC.

Overview

Tours and information sessions are open to the public including students of all grade levels, educators, post-secondary science-based groups and programs from surrounding colleges and universities; members of community organizations; and all who are interested in learning more about NIEHS, environmental health topics, and related training and career options.

Institute tours are conducted weekdays during normal business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) and are reserved on a first-come first-served basis. Tour groups are limited to 30 participants. Larger groups may need to be coordinated in smaller sub-groups. Virtual tours can also be scheduled and can be of any size.

Students must be at least 18 years of age to enter laboratories; however, that does not hinder the tour!

Please allow at least four (4) weeks for coordination.

Thank you for your interest, and we hope to see you soon!
