Summer Student Program (Precollege)

杰克逊实验室将为11年级的学生启动一个为期九周的住宿青年学者项目，研究生命科学。延续了1949年开始的一年一度的传统，高中三年级学生在暑期项目期间作为员工科学家实验室的学徒，在哺乳动物遗传学方面进行独立的原创研究。这种全职的、在实验台上的经历，还会有赞助者（导师）和学生晚上的研究报告，以及每周关于遗传学职业和伦理问题的一系列讨论。接受在全国范围内招募的高能力学生。每个参与者的项目都是根据他或她的学术准备和兴趣量身定制的。在许多学生项目中使用了自交系和突变系小鼠。后续活动包括担保人、学生和学生所在学校的一名骨干教师之间的联系。项目校友包括两位诺贝尔奖获得者，以及一位西屋科学奖得主。

The Jackson Laboratory will initiate a nine-week, residential, Young Scholars project in the life sciences for students in the 11th grade. Continuing an annual tradition begun in 1949, high school juniors conduct independent, original research in mammalian genetics as apprentices in staff scientists' laboratories during a summer program. This full-time, at-the-bench experience is supplemented by evening research presentations by sponsors (preceptors) and students, and by a weekly discussion series on careers and ethical issues in genetics. High-ability students, recruited on a national basis, are accepted. Each participant's project is tailored to his or her academic preparation and interests. Inbred and mutant lines of mice are used in many of the student projects. Follow-up activities include contact among the sponsor, the student, and a Key Teacher at the student's school. Program alumni include two Nobel Laureates, as well as a Westinghouse Science winner.
