The Sanford PROMISE provides biomedical research experiences for K-12 students and their teachers. Biomedical Research Investigations (BRI) offers middle and high school students an opportunity to engage with authentic scientific questions by performing a series of connected hands-on laboratory activities. If you are interested in other Sanford PROMISE events, please visit www.SanfordResearch.org/Education.

Participants must meet the minimum age by June 1, 2019 and do not need to have a Pavilion membership. Participants must be committed to participating for the entire workshop.
