The Digital Transformation Research Corps (DTRC) is a paid, ten-week summer program that invites students with skills in software development and data science to work alongside faculty to accelerate digitally-enabled research projects at WashU. The program will run from May 26 - August 7, 2026, and applications are due Thursday, February 26. 

 

Students in the program gain hands-on experience working on high-impact initiatives, while faculty benefit from dedicated student support and technical expertise to advance their work. Through mentorship, collaboration, and rigorous training in best practices for AI, machine learning and computational research, the program fosters a dynamic community of innovation.
