About

The Aspiring Researcher Challenge is an experimental initiative by professors from Univ. of California and Stanford to recognize the potential of upcoming student researchers and exploring the possibility of massive research collaboration between the two.

The research program will run for roughly ten weeks, and will require accepted students to follow specific processes designed to run this initiative. Participating students will get to co-author research papers with the professors and experience the academic research process. To help understand this program, we've created an exhaustive list of frequently asked questions. Please click the link below to learn more.
