All About NJRI

Our Mission & Goals

New Jersey Research Initiative has 3 main missions:

1. Empower Student Researchers

Through education, mentorship, and networking, we equip youth with the skills, confidence, and connections to pursue meaningful research.

2. Foster a Statewide Research Community

We build a platform for a collaborative network of students, educators, and professionals across New Jersey to support and celebrate student innovation.

3. Increase Accessibility to STEM & Research

We aim to break down barriers to entry by providing inclusive, low-cost opportunities that make research and STEM exploration more accessible to all youth.
