The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students to conduct their own independent research project in a professional biomedical research environment at no cost, while also receiving a stipend.
The Seattle Children's Research Institute's Research Training Program (RTP) is an in-person, four-week summer program designed for high school students in 10th and 11th grade who are interested in biomedical research. Students will gain hands-on experience working in a research laboratory environment, learning about various scientific topics such as biochemistry, immunotherapy, gene editing, and infectious diseases. The program emphasizes practical skills development, allowing students to conduct their own independent research project. In addition to laboratory work, the RTP includes workshops focused on college readiness and career exploration, providing a solid foundation for future careers in biomedical research. The program aims to inspire the next generation of scientists and healthcare workers by offering authentic research experiences and insights into the research process, critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.
A typical day involves learning how to work in a research laboratory environment, exploring topics like biochemistry and gene editing, and conducting an independent research project.
This program is best for current 10th and 11th-grade high school students with a strong interest in biology, biochemistry, microbiology, public health, or related scientific fields, who are seeking their first research experience and reside within commuting distance of downtown Seattle.
