The Pioneer Research program is designed for high school students who have ambitions of conducting undergraduate and graduate-level research under the mentorship of college professors. The entirety of the program is carried out online and in classes of 3 or 4 students per professor. The research program includes 10 sessions. 5 of these sessions are with the entire class and the professor reviews the fundamentals of the area you are studying. The next five sessions are just between you and the professor. During this portion, you are narrowing down a research topic you would like to explore and going overdrafts of a research paper that you are expected to write. The culminating project of the program is to write a 15+ page research paper on a particular topic that sparked your interest. For more information visit the official site here .
