ASDRP provides high school students with access to professional-grade research facilities and mentorship from industry and academic experts, allowing them to conduct original research and make tangible scientific contributions.
The Aspiring Scholars Directed Research Program (ASDRP) offers high school students a unique opportunity to engage in original, cutting-edge scientific research across various STEM fields. Students work under the guidance of experienced scientists and engineers, gaining hands-on experience in designing experiments, conducting research, and analyzing data. The program emphasizes the development of critical scientific skills such as scientific reading and writing, public speaking, technical writing, analytical thinking, and experimental design. Participants contribute to novel research projects, often leading to published papers in the ASDRP Communications online journal, presentations at an end-of-summer expo, and submissions to peer-reviewed journals and conferences. ASDRP aims to provide a comprehensive research experience that prepares students for future academic and career pursuits in STEM, with many alumni attending top universities.
Each day, students engage in activities like conducting experiments or coding, depending on their research focus, under the guidance of mentors, and contribute to ongoing research.
The program is ideal for ambitious high school students in grades 9-12 with a strong interest in STEM who are looking to deepen their research experience and stand out on college applications.
