International Research Institute of North Carolina

IRI was born from the struggles of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We wanted to continue to make research opportunities available to talented high school students safely. 

We continue this mission with remote research opportunities for students from around the world.

Every IRI student works with university faculty, not just graduate students, from world-renowned universities.

Whether you are from a rural community without access to university laboratories or just looking to boost your resume, IRI can help!
