Introducing Middle Schoolers to Professional Research
Full Guidance and Support
Pathos Research offers a personalized mentoring program, pairing each student with a mentor in their field of interest for one-on-one meetings. Our mentors are highly trained and dedicated to supporting students throughout their first professional research endeavors. In addition, we provide extensive resources on scientific writing and offer guidance on publishing research papers in reputable science journals and articles.
Created by Passion to Teach and Guide
The Pathos Research Programs are courses designed to equip students with essential research skills and provide unparalleled research mentorship. Experienced mentors will provide guidance, support, and expertise throughout the program.
Supporting “High Poverty” School Districts
Pathos Research is a non-profit organization where all revenue generated is used to provide resources and opportunities to school districts classified as "High Poverty.” Students are not required to pay to learn about research, making the program accessible as a whole, and can still gain high-quality instruction with the free research program. Our goal is to educate and raise awareness about research as it is a topic that is not often covered at the middle school level.
