Outreach & Community Engagement

Education and outreach are integral components of the mission of The Scripps Research Institute. In just three decades, TSRI researchers have prepared hundreds of interns and trainees for successful scientific careers. Toward this end, TSRI provides a variety of programs for students and science teachers to participate in research activities on the campus, designed and supervised by many of the Institute's scientists and administrators.
