Twenty-five sophmore and junior high school students will participate in research at laboratories affiliated with Boston University, for six weeks during the summer. These high ability secondary school students will live on the campus of Boston University for the duration of the project. The coordinating staff of two Program Directors and Resident Assistants will also live in the dormitories with the participants. The objective of this Research Internship Program (RIP) is to sensitize students to scientific careers through involvement in research, exposure to questions at the frontiers of knowledge and exposure to the methods and ideas used to answer them. Each student will be paired with a Preceptor, a person actively engaged in research, and will work with him or her on on-going research problems. A series of weekly seminars will provide a more global view of research in science. These sessions will provide coherence to the program and give the students an opportunity to learn from each other as well as from the research community at the university.

25名二年级和初中生将在波士顿大学附属实验室参加为期6周的暑期研究。这些高能力的中学生将在项目期间住在波士顿大学校园里。两名项目主任和住宿助理的协调人员也将与参与者一起住在宿舍。这项研究实习计划（RIP）的目标是通过参与研究，接触知识前沿的问题以及接触用于回答这些问题的方法和思想，使学生对科学事业敏感。每个学生将与一名积极从事研究的导师配对，并将与他或她一起解决正在进行的研究问题。一系列的每周研讨会将提供一个更全面的科学研究视角。这些会议将为项目提供连贯性，并为学生提供相互学习以及向大学研究社区学习的机会。
