The Garcia Research Scholars Program is a prestigious summer research program at Stony Brook University that immerses high school students in real-world scientific inquiry across fields like medicine, materials design, energy storage, and tissue engineering. Students work directly alongside faculty mentors on hands-on research projects, gaining experience that goes far beyond what is available in a typical classroom setting. The program is affiliated with Stony Brook's Garcia Center for Polymers at Engineered Interfaces, one of the leading polymer research centers in the country. It is an exceptional opportunity for students passionate about science and engineering to contribute to meaningful research at the university level.
Designing studies, testing hypotheses, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
Using equations and formulas to represent and predict real-world situations.
Running experiments safely and accurately using real scientific equipment and procedures.
Breaking down a challenge and working through it methodically to a solution.
Evaluating information carefully before drawing a conclusion or making a decision.
Students conduct research in materials design and polymers at an engineered interfaces center.
Program covers materials design, energy generation and storage, and polymer research applications.
Research areas include medicine, pharmacology, tissue engineering, and biomedical applications.
Students advance interdisciplinary research projects in medicine and pharmacology with publication potential.
