These programs provide opportunities for students to learn necessary and important research skills and to innovate in order to take a leadership role in society.

Undergraduate Research Programs   

Undergraduate Research and Innovation (URI) programs give students a chance to flourish in various ways. Students learn how to do research, but also how to pick projects that will improve a societal problem and enhance the quality of life for a community of people.  These programs are designed to help students develop the vision to contend with global challenges. More information on the URI website.
 

Graduate Research Programs

Doctoral and Master’s graduate students are an integral part of NJIT research enterprise.

NJIT faculty grants and contracts directly fund graduate students providing outstanding opportunities for basic, applied and translational research and technology development. 

Students may contact Principal Investigators and Directors of research centers and laboratories for exploring the availability of research opportunities in specific areas. Please see Centers and Laboratories website for additional information on research opportunities.

High School STEM Research Programs

NJIT offers excellent opportunities for professional and career development in STEM areas to undergraduate, as well high school students, through Provost Summer Research and faculty-centered grants and research centers. NJIT is committed to providing opportunities for hands-on research participation for high school students under the guidance of a faculty advisor with close mentoring through NJIT undergraduate and graduate students.   

The high school summer research internship program requires a commitment of 6 weeks from June 26th, 2023 to August 3rd, 2023. The highly competitive program is designed to inspire the students to appreciate the value of discovery and innovation with the ultimate objective of encouraging them to pursue a career in science and lifelong learning.  At the end of their internships, students will submit a research report outlining their results and present a electronic poster at the annual Summer Research Symposium describing their project and outcomes to faculty and their peers.
