Lab Welcomes Partners for the Future
The CSHL Partners for the Future program, established in 1990, gives young students a taste of the real world of biomedical research. Each year, six to eight Long Island high school students entering their senior year are chosen from a large pool of nominees to participate in the program. The selected students spend a minimum of ten hours per week, October through March, doing original research with the guidance of a Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientist.

At the conclusion of the program, each student presents the results of his or her research project to an audience of scientific mentors, high school teachers, friends, and relatives. Participants in the program frequently credit it as the first spark of their scientific imagination. To date, 68 students have completed the program, all of whom have enrolled in top-ranked colleges or universities. The 2002—2003 Partners for the Future are pictured below.
