What summer biology research programs are there out there for high school students?

Question

I live in Sacramento, so preferably programs around there, but i just need to know what good ones are out there.

I know of rsi already, but the deadline's already passed...

Answer 1

UC Davis has a summer program called the Young Scholars Program, it's a 6 week summer research program. Costs around 4500 dollars... check it out at ysp.ucdavis.edu

However, if you're really serious on something, i would recommend you try to contact some professors and see if they can help you with getting a research project set up or allow you to use their lab. I know a lot of people who have gotten their research projects done through some mentorship from a professor.

sciserv.org has a list of summer programs, although it doesn't include everything.

Answer 2

If you are really interested just email some professors you like at your local university (UC Davis is good) and ask for an opportunity to do research with them over the summer. Also if they respond to you ask them if they know of any programs for high school students. I do know of one called Academic Connections, but it's at UCSD. It's open to anyone with a 3.3 or above, here is the site link, it's expensive though.

I don't know, but mine was research of the female anatomy through the 'dating' program., I highly recommend it.
