In this blog, we’ve compiled the best medical research programs for high schoolers from a fully remote option open worldwide to hyper-selective lab placements at Stanford, the NIH, Rockefeller, the Broad Institute, and Jackson Laboratory.

Biology research programs for high schoolers really fall into three buckets: fully remote mentorship you can do from anywhere, paid summer internships that put you in an actual lab or out in the field, and short intensive courses that teach you research skills without a full independent project attached.
