SUMMER 2021 Harvard Program for Research in Markets & Organizations

The Program for Research in Markets & Organizations (PRIMO) is a 10-week research opportunity for undergraduate students who wish to explore research topics ranging from business strategy to social media, and from innovation management to private equity.  In addition to working on research, fellows will have the opportunity to attend seminars to enrich their experience. Topics such as business research resources, software programs, research ethics, poster presentations, and postgraduate career opportunities will be offered throughout the summer. Students will also have the opportunity to present their research findings in both small and large group settings. The tentative program dates for Summer 2021 are June 5, 2021, to August 14, 2021. If the program is offered in-person in the summer of 2021, PRIMO fellows will be offered Harvard campus housing, a partial board plan, and a modest research stipend. If the program is offered virtually, PRIMO fellows will receive a modest research stipend.

The deadline to apply is Thursday, February 18, 2021, at 11:59 pm EST.
