An institution for
young researchers.

The YRI Fellowship pairs ambitious students with PhD mentors to produce original, published research. Fellows have published in IEEE, Springer and Elsevier, competed at ISEF, and been admitted to Brown, Johns Hopkins, Stanford, Caltech and Harvard.

THE MISSION

Why YRI exists.

Research should not wait for graduate school.

The students who publish young do not have more talent than everyone else. They have access: a mentor who has done it before, a process that holds their work to professional standards, and someone who will not let the paper die in a drawer. YRI exists to put that within reach of any family serious enough to apply.

Every Fellow works one on one with a PhD mentor, every week, on a question of their own. What they leave with is a published paper, a science fair entry, and the confidence to defend their work in any room, from an admissions interview to a conference stage.

THE STANDARD

What separates YRI from every other program a counselor will show you.

Four rules the program is built on

End to end, not advice

Most programs hand students a syllabus and wish them luck. YRI carries every Fellow from the first research question to a published paper, and support continues at no cost until it is published.

Held to peer review

Fellows are not graded against other students. Their work is built, from day one, to pass the same review that working scientists face at IEEE, Springer and Elsevier.

Matched, not assigned

Each Fellow is paired with a PhD mentor whose expertise matches the student's field, from machine learning and astrophysics to biology and public health. The weekly 1:1 session is the engine of the program.

Results you can look up

Every publication, competition title, and admission we cite is verifiable at the source. The record is public because the standard is real.
