Science Research Program

The Rockefeller University Science Research Program (SRP) provides high school students and K-12 teachers with an opportunity to conduct hands-on research under the mentorship of leading scientific researchers at one of the world's premier biomedical research facilities.

Over the seven weeks of the Program, participants will be immersed in the content, process, and culture of scientific research. Participants will engage in all aspects of the lab experience including doing research, reading the relevant literature, and participating in lab meetings. By the end of the summer, many participants experience the exhilaration of discovering something that nobody previously knew.

This year's program begins on Monday, June 25 and ends on Friday, August 10.

Comments from Science Research Program participants:

 

"I loved everything about the Program and thank you so much for the opportunity. I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my summer, and it truly lived up to and surpassed all of my high expectations."

"My lab was absolutely amazing, as was my mentor, who devoted unbelievable amounts of time to my work. I was welcomed into the lab, and assigned a project that would have been conducted by another member of the lab (i.e. a real project, with real contributions to science). I was allowed to attend group meeting, and even present my work there. I’m not sure what I want to do when I grow up, but lab research was definitely a great experience and something I would strongly consider."

"My lab was extremely welcoming; I felt almost like the lab’s little brother. Not only was my whole lab very helpful and friendly throughout the summer, almost the whole lab came to the poster session, and was very supportive."
