Program for Research in Markets and Organizations (PRIMO)

The Program for Research in Markets and Organizations, or PRIMO, is a 10-week program for undergraduates who wish to work closely with Harvard Business School faculty on research projects on topics ranging from business strategy to social media, and from innovation management to private equity. Offered in partnership with and modeled on the Program on Research in Science and Engineering (PRISE), PRIMO seeks to create a diverse group of Fellows including but not limited to women and underrepresented minorities who are inspired by and are committed to pursuing excellence in business research.

Summer 2012 will be the second year for this research experience program, which has been designed to stimulate community and creativity among a small group of motivated Harvard undergraduates.

PRIMO will run from 1 June - 10 August, 2012 and offers Fellows lodging, a partial board plan, and modest research support. In addition, Fellows who are financial aid recipients will receive as a term-bill credit the full amount indicated by the financial aid office as their family contribution to the 2012-13 financial aid award.

PRIMO participation is open to any continuing student (rising sophomore, junior, or senior) who is in good standing in Harvard College.

More information on the program will be posted soon so please check back shortly.
