About the Opportunity:

Developed to inspire, engage and mentor the next generation of cancer researchers, the Cancer Research Experience for the Advancement and Training of Emerging Scientists (CREATES-HS) Program is an eight-week funded summer research experience for rising high school seniors from underrepresented in medicine (URM) backgrounds.

Once selected, each student is assigned to a state-of-the-art research facility where they can immerse themselves in the research experience alongside a Principal Investigator, a daily supervisor and a dedicated team of researchers, including undergraduate students, graduate students and physicians. While the primary purpose of the program is to provide each student with a deeper understanding of cancer, hands-on experience within a cancer research lab and a lifelong network of individuals who share their interest in advancing scientific knowledge, it’s not just the student who benefits. Our research team members gain invaluable insight into each student’s goals and interests, and learn important strategies to improve their mentoring skills while sharing their expertise with a new generation of scientists.

In addition to the benefits of lab experience, each student will be paid a living wage if all requirements are met.

The program will include campus tours, presentations by distinguished faculty and staff, weekly roundtables with graduate student advisors and networking opportunities.

Each week, you'll explore things like:

• How we can rethink urban design with car free, walkable cities.

• How we can utilize harm reduction and human-centered design in pursuit of a more equitable criminal justice system.

• The ways AI can do GOOD for our world.

After completing the Civic Innovators Fellowship, Fellows join the Civics Unplugged Community where they gain access to the network and funding they need to change the world.

Each summer, 100 of the world's most accomplished high school students gather at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the Research Science Institute (RSI). RSI is the first cost-free to students, summer science & engineering program to combine on-campus course work in scientific theory with off-campus work in science and technology research.

Participants experience the entire research cycle from start to finish. They read the most current literature in their field, execute a detailed research plan, and deliver conference-style oral and written reports on their findings.

RSI scholars first participate in a week of intensive STEM classes with accomplished professors. The heart of RSI is the five week research internship where students conduct individual projects under the tutelage of mentors who are experienced scientists and researchers. During the final week of RSI, students prepare written and oral presentations on their research projects.
