Applications for the 2023 Fall Cohort of the STEM Research Program are open. 

Led by PhD researchers, the STEM Research Program helps ambitious high school students work 1-on-1 with a PhD mentor to learn about the cutting edge in their STEM field of interest and produce an independent research project.

After weekly meetings with their mentor to discuss new STEM topics and their related research paper, students receive an evaluation written by their mentors.

Week 2-4: Explore the topic and identify the research question
Week 5-9: Write research paper with 1-1 support from research mentor
Week 10-12: Make final edits and submit the paper for final evaluation
