Our Projects
01
Catalyst Academy
Catalyst Academy is a several week summer research program designed to give young students an opportunity to work on a research project and receive authorship for their findings in an open-access summer journal. The program is open to high school students interested in STEM, and selected students will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced mentors and participate in hands-on research projects that explore a variety of scientific topics - global health, chronic disease prevention, and more. Catalyst Academy provides students a unique opportunity to engage in community-based research and gain valuable experience that will guide them in their academic and professional pursuits.
