The Student Research Institute (SRI) by the Harvard Undergraduate OpenBio Laboratory is a virtual summer program to increase access to research for high school students in the natural and physical sciences.
SRI aims to democratize access to research opportunities for students across the world, empowering them to develop skills and knowledge to make meaningful research contributions. We invite students to apply for this opportunity to immerse themselves in scientific research.
Students selected for SRI will be paired with a PhD student and will work alongside them to conduct an original research project or literature review in their specific field. Students will have the opportunity to hone their skills in research. At the culmination of the program, students will share their projects with the SRI team and other Harvard undergraduates to sharpen their ability to present and communicate scientific research.
Following the program, SRI staff will work with selected participants who have conducted exceptional research projects to share their research in an undergraduate research journal and showcase their work conducted over the summer!
SRI is free of charge for accepted students.
Thank you for your interest in SRI. Applications for SRI are now closed. Application decisions will be communicated as soon as possible.
We are committed to equitable and inclusive access to research opportunities, training, and education. To support operational costs, there is a nominal $20 application fee for students interested in SRI. Should this application fee pose a barrier, students can request for a fee waiver by reaching out to SRI leadership via email. A limited number of fee waivers are available.
