Deadline: Spring 2026 cohort closes May 31, 2026 — submit now for review in June.
Submission Guide
A 2-minute read so you know exactly what to prepare. The form itself takes about 10 minutes once you have these ready.
What we accept
- • Original research — you ran an experiment or collected data yourself.
- • Literature reviews — a focused synthesis of existing research on a question.
- • Exploratory studies — early-stage observational or behavioral work, even if results are tentative.
What makes a strong submission
- • A clear, specific research question — not "how does the brain work" but "does timed arithmetic affect digit-span recall?"
- • A method described in enough detail that another student could repeat it.
- • Honest discussion of limitations — small sample sizes and null results are fine when acknowledged.
- • Citations to the sources that informed your thinking.
- • Plain-English writing. Jargon is not a substitute for clarity.
What to prepare before opening the form
- • Project title and your name (or pseudonym).
- • A short abstract (about 250 words) covering question, method, and findings.
- • A link to the full write-up (Google Doc, PDF, or similar) — set sharing to "anyone with the link can view".
- • Approximate completion date.
- • Category (Biology or Psychology).
