About Our Research Program at CSH  

The CSH Research Program offers students the opportunity to take various courses that provide students with valuable research experiences, giving students ample opportunities to engage in authentic inquiry, design and collaboration. Students are encouraged to form questions, design methods of testing, and collect data in either social science or natural science research. Courses devoted to research are offered to 9th-12th grade students throughout the year, during the summer, or as an independent research course.

October 2023: CSH High School was the only high school in New York State and one of only eight high schools nationwide selected as an InvenTeam. CSH was awarded a $7,500 Lemelson-MIT InvenTeam® grant to create an invention geared towards active and passive tick mitigation strategies that do not require pesticides. 

 

 

November 2022:  Four Cold Spring Harbor seniors whose research used cutting-edge molecular biology techniques to sequence the DNA of mosquitoes were published in a national database, which is a first for CSH.

 

 

Other Cold Spring Harbor student publications can be found below. Congratulations to all of our students who continue to nurture their passions and take their research to the next level.
