ARISE offers a unique opportunity for NYC high school students to engage in authentic, tuition-free, university-level research with a stipend, providing invaluable hands-on lab experience and mentorship from NYU faculty.
The NYU Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE) program is a free, 10-week summer research program for NYC high school students, combining foundational training with hands-on lab experience in various STEM fields at NYU research labs. Students gain approximately 150 hours of valuable lab experience, contributing to cutting-edge research under the guidance of NYU faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers. The program emphasizes developing public speaking and other soft skills, culminating in students presenting their research at a colloquium and poster symposium. Participants learn scientific writing, research ethics, data collection and analysis, and lab safety. The program aims to provide an authentic research experience, allowing students to make practical and substantive contributions to ongoing research projects.
A typical day for an ARISE student involves a mix of commuting, hands-on lab work, guidance from mentors, and research workshops. Students work on real research projects, which could include analyzing data, writing code, assisting with experiments, reviewing scientific literature, or building prototypes.
This program is ideal for highly motivated New York City high school students in 10th or 11th grade with a strong academic record and demonstrated passion for STEM, particularly those interested in pursuing authentic, hands-on research.
