<p>I looked around and couldn't find any answers, but how does one do research with an institute and/or a professor? Do you apply/send in an application? Call the institute? Ask the professor?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>well, have you tried asking your science teacher who might know someone at a university. </p>
<p>Do you apply/send in an application? In HS? iono</p>
<p>Call the institute? i wouldn't
Ask the professor? best chance you have</p>
<p>you seem desperate. btw, what class are you? ('07?)</p>
<p>You might try doing your own research. Look into the the Young Epidemiology Scholars competition for high school students. You might enjoy this (although it is a huge undertaking). Do an online search for info. </p>
<p>I think most people who work in research while in high school have a parent (or uncle, or aunt, or cousin's brother's son...) who are working with the research and provide the opportunity for the high school student. You could try emailing professors at a local university if you want and see what you can come up with. Offer to provide entry level help - for free - which probably means washing supplies, cleaning up, etc... Some colleges require volunteers to be 18 (this is the case with Emory in Atlanta), so that might be a problem if you are under 18.</p>
<p>What should I write in the email?</p>
