PRIMO has been designed to bring together a select group of motivated undergraduates interested in getting exposure to business research on a variety of cutting-edge ideas. The primary goal of the program is to build and foster a strong community of scholars committed to excellence in research as part of the Harvard Summer Undergraduate Research Village. Other programs in the Undergraduate Research Village include Amgen, BLISS, PCER, PRISE, and SURGH. Please note that in addition to PRIMO, only the Amgen program is available to students outside of Harvard.
The program is now entering its eleventh year. The tentative program dates for Summer 2021 are June 5, 2021 to August 14, 2021. Please check back in January 2021 for more information! PRIMO fellows are offered Harvard campus housing, a partial board plan, and modest research support. As part of the residential community of researchers, students will participate in enrichment activities such as faculty lectures, professional development workshops, presentation opportunities, and social events.
Student applications for the 2021 program will open on Friday, January 1, 2021 and will be due on Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 12:00 pm EST. For complete application instructions, see Apply.
PRIMO is open to continuing students (those who will be rising sophomores, juniors, or seniors at the time of the program) who are in good standing at a 4-year undergraduate institution in the United States. Students must commit to the full ten weeks of the program.
