DRIVE Students Further
DRIVE is an innovative partnership program that brings together high school students from different backgrounds on the campus of an academic medical center, and engages them in research. DRIVE provides high school students with the opportunity to identify a public health issue in the their communities and conduct scientific research aimed at addressing the issue. Students prepare proposal, conduct research and share their findings in a scientific poster presentation at the end of the school year.
The overall aim of the partnership is to connect high school students with real scientific work and authentic educational experiences that highlight a path to postsecondary education and career training. The DRIVE program also allows students the opportunity to address issues of genuine concern to them by using scientific research and methodology, and empowers them to make a difference in their communities.
