Summer Mentorship Opportunities

Harvard Undergraduate OpenBio Labratory is introducing the first-ever Student Research Institute (SRI). This is an inaugural virtual research program led and advised by Harvard undergraduates and faculty, aimed at increasing access to high-quality research. Students selected for SRI will be paired with top PhD candidates and faculty at Ivy League/high-level institutions across the world to conduct research. Over the summer, selected students will work in a 1-on-1 capacity with their mentor in a field of interest, working alongside them to conduct a research project. Students will have the opportunity to hone their skills in research by writing a full research paper, which SRI will then publish in a research journal! Students will also present their work, with the possibility of winning an all-expense paid trip to Harvard for the top competitors.

For more information on our organization and SRI, please visit their website. Applications are now open for this completely free program!
