Our Mission
Road2Research is a student-run initiative with a mission to foster interest in research and build a network of mentors for high schoolers increasing diversity in research and academia. Through a curriculum of lectures, hands-on labs, career panels, assigned mentors, and a culminating research project, we hope for high school students to gain exposure to the field of research and academia, as well as have access to resources that they would not otherwise have.
