About SRMP

SRMP is an astrophysics mentoring program that provides an opportunity for students from Cambridge Rindge and Latin School (CRLS) to work on a year-long independent research project in astrophysics under the guidance of a Center for Astrophysics (CfA) astrophysicists. Students learn what it is  like to conduct real, cutting-edge research and work closely with living scientists from diverse backgrounds. The funding for CRLS student and faculty liaison stipends for the SRMP program are funded by Cambridge STEAM Initiative and the Office of Workforce Development.
