Boston University will initiate a six-week, residential, Young Scholars project in Physics and Engineering for 30 students in grades 11-12. Students participate in research at laboratories affiliated with Boston University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where they are placed during the summer following their sophomore and junior years; this age group is chosen because of its maturity and its ability to share the summer experience with fellow high school students during their senior year. This program for high ability secondary school students is coordinated by Boston University, where the students will reside for the duration of the project. The object of this Research Internship Program (RIP) is for the students to become aware of the realities of a scientific career through involvement in research and exposure to questions at the frontiers of knowledge, and to the methods and ideas used to answer them. To this purpose each student is paired with a Preceptor, a person actively engaged in research, and works with him or her in on-going research problems. A series of weekly seminars provides a more global view of the problems in science.

波士顿大学将为11-12年级的30名学生启动一个为期六周的物理和工程青年学者住宅项目。学生们在波士顿大学和马萨诸塞州理工学院附属的实验室参加研究，他们在大二和大三之后的夏天被安置在那里;选择这个年龄组是因为它的成熟度和在高年级与其他高中生分享夏季经验的能力。这个高能力的中学生计划由波士顿大学协调，学生将在项目期间居住在那里。该研究实习计划（RIP）的目的是让学生通过参与研究和接触知识前沿的问题，以及用于回答这些问题的方法和想法，了解科学职业的现实。为了这个目的，每个学生都与一个导师配对，一个积极从事研究的人，并与他或她一起解决正在进行的研究问题。一系列每周一次的研讨会提供了对科学问题的更全面的看法。
