The 2023 RMS program will take place from Tuesday June 20th, 2023 to Friday August 15th, 2023 and will be a 100% virtual experience.
Admitted students will be placed in a cohort based on their AM or PM cohort selection and academic interest and a peer mentor will guide them through the research process. Each week students will work on one part of their research project ranging from developing a research question to conducting an experiment to writing an academic paper. All research, whether an experiment or analysis, must and will be done by the student entirely!! That being said, publication is solely depended on the effort the student puts into the paper and the quality of work that is produced.
There will be a weekly video call and task that students must complete. Failure to complete the work on time may result in removal from the program.
Throughout the course of the program students will be given the opportunity to network with like-minded students and professionals, pursue their academic passions, and gain invaluable skills about writing academic papers. At the end of the program, students will produce a research paper and be guided on how to publish their work.
As the program is completely free we rely on YOUR donations for funding. Therefore, please consider donating so we can continue providing more valuable resources and opportunities!
