The Summer Academic Research Experience (SARE) is an eight-week intensive summer program at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine designed for high school students from low-income and educationally under-resourced backgrounds, including first-generation college students. Participants conduct hands-on biomedical research in top laboratories while taking advanced courses in scientific writing, data analysis, mathematics, and bioethics. The program focuses on four core pillars (mentoring, professionalism, research, and academic fortification) to prepare students for careers in science and medicine. Students who complete the program receive a $3,000 stipend, making this an incredibly valuable and accessible opportunity for aspiring researchers.
Designing studies, testing hypotheses, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
Running experiments safely and accurately using real scientific equipment and procedures.
Making sense of numbers and datasets to find patterns, test ideas, and support decisions.
Evaluating information carefully before drawing a conclusion or making a decision.
Students conduct hands-on biomedical research in top university labs and become co-authors on scientific papers.
Program introduces students to biomedical research and medicine through intensive mentorship at a medical school campus.
Program explicitly encourages applications from students interested in public health careers and builds research foundations.
Eight weeks of hands-on biomedical research with advanced coursework in scientific writing and data analysis.
