Potential Research Opportunities
-
These are summer research opportunities that are very competitive. Applications can be quite rigorous. Interviews may also be required.
However, if any represent your passion its worth the pursuit. If you don't apply the door remains shut ... if you do apply the door may open. Give the application process your best effort. Pay attention to deadlines!!
In the field of ecological research: http://www.mianus.org/what-we-do/research-and-education/wildlife-tech-program In the field of medical research: New York Medical College Outreach Program In the field of pharmacology: Progenics or Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
In many fields and many locations: http://people.rit.edu/gtfsbi/Symp/highschool.htmThere are deadlines for all applications so start the process early in the school year!
