BRAINYAC Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a program that prepares high school students and delivers the experience of working in a neuroscience research laboratory over a summer can improve self-reported measures of scientific efficacy and science identity.

Who is the study for?
The BRAINYAC program is designed for high school students from Upper Manhattan and the South Bronx who are interested in neuroscience research. It's an educational initiative aimed at equipping them with lab skills over 8 months, culminating in a summer lab experience. All students and mentors involved in the program are eligible to enroll without any exclusion criteria.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This study tests whether an education program can boost students' confidence and identity as scientists through hands-on laboratory work and training. The effectiveness of the BRAINYAC program will be measured by tracking improvements in scientific efficacy and science identity over four years using surveys, focus groups, and interviews.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves an educational intervention rather than a medical treatment, there aren't typical side effects like those associated with drugs or medical procedures. However, participants may experience increased academic pressure or stress related to performance.
