The CRI Experience, Through Their Eyes

These aren’t testimonials—they’re turning points.
Watch how students discover their potential through research with world-class professors.

What Is CRI?

CRI connects ambitious students with world-class mentors—from MIT, Harvard, and beyond—to conduct guided, publishable research. 92% of our faculty mentors have stayed with CRI for over 3 years. Students go on to top-tier schools like Stanford, Princeton, and Columbia.

Which Program is Right for You?

CRI offers research opportunities for highly motivated students—
from middle schoolers exploring new ideas to college students preparing for graduate school.

For curious middle school students beginning their academic journey. Over 2 months, students build foundational research skills through 1:1 guidance and hands-on project mock-ups with expert mentors.

For high school and college students seeking an immersive, graduate-level research experience with world-class professors.
Across an intensive 2–3 week in-person program, students work directly with professors from top global universities, participate in small seminar-style sessions, and design a full research project from question formulation to final paper.
The program emphasizes depth, academic rigor, and close mentorship—mirroring the structure of an elite college research lab.

For students who want flexible yet professor-led research without geographic limitations.
Over 2–4 weeks, students engage in live online seminars, professor meetings, and structured research milestones.
With the same curriculum and standards as the in-person program, students develop a publishable paper or final research report guided by faculty and TAs.

For highly motivated students aiming to pursue graduate-level research or specialized academic pathways.
In a fully customized 8–12 week curriculum, students meet individually with a professor to explore advanced topics, refine methodologies, and develop a sophisticated paper suitable for journal submission or competition entry.
This program offers maximum depth, personalization, and long-term mentorship.

For students who want structured support to build real-world, portfolio-ready projects.
Over 1–3 months, students learn how to plan and execute practical initiatives—such as starting a small business idea, developing or securing an internship project, or building a personal website or digital portfolio.
Rather than focusing on academic research, students receive clear frameworks, actionable steps, and milestone check-ins to turn their ideas into concrete outcomes they can confidently present in college applications.

For students pursuing year-long preparation for top STEM competitions.
Over the course of a full year, students design and execute an original research project, conduct experiments in the lab, and collect real data with guidance from experienced mentors.
As the project develops, students refine their analysis, build figures and documentation, and prepare submission materials—including research reports, posters, and presentations—for competitions such as ISEF, KSEF, Conrad Challenge, and Genius Olympiad.
Through long-term mentorship and structured milestones, students complete a rigorous, data-driven project that meets the standards of international competitions.
