Duke STAR Program (Summer Training in Academic Research)

About

Duke's Summer Training in Academic Research (STAR) Program, hosted by the Duke Clinical Research Institute, pairs high school seniors, undergraduates, and medical students with Duke faculty mentors for a five-week in-person program to design and complete an original, hypothesis-driven research project culminating in a full paper. High school participants receive a $4,000 stipend but cover their own housing and travel. Applicants submit an essay and two recommendation letters from non-relatives.
