Research Science Institute
The Research Science Institute (RSI) is a highly competitive summer research program for high school students around the world. RSI is sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) and hosted by MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Founded by Admiral H.G. Rickover in 1984 (and originally called the "Rickover Science Institute" through the 1986 session), RSI is now run by a close associate of his, CEE president Joann P. DiGennaro. Approximately 80 students from around the world (generally, around 50 from the United States and 30 from other countries) are selected to participate in the six-week summer program.〔http://math.mit.edu/news/summer/rsi.html〕 RSI has connections to the Department of Defense, and three RSI positions are reserved for overseas Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) students. The first week of RSI is composed of tutorials and seminars on contemporary research of interest, while the remainder is centered on individual research projects through mentors in the Boston area. The RSI Distinguished Lecture Series, which continues throughout the program, brings distinguished professors and scientists, including a number of Nobel laureates, to speak to RSI students in evening lecture-style format. In recent years, the RSI Distinguished Lecture Series has included such names as Nobel Prize-winning physicist Wolfgang Ketterle, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Dudley Herschbach, Nobel Prize-winning geneticist Phillip Sharp, evolutionary biologist Pardis Sabeti, acclaimed mathematician and chess master Noam Elkies, Akamai Technologies co-founder and CEO Tom Leighton, and noted mathematician Michael Sipser. RSI's staff is generally composed primarily, if not entirely, of alumni, with recent Rickoids (RSI alumni, from the Institute's original name) filling in as counselors and TAs and older alumni taking administrative, lecturing, or tutoring positions.
The program's social facets include Ultimate, as well as traditional trips to the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Georges and Spectacle Island off the Boston Harbor, and an overnight trip to the Charles River Esplanade to view the Fourth of July fireworks.

Though it has convened at various locations (including two years, 1990 and 2004, when the program was held concurrently on both coasts - at UC San Diego and The George Washington University in 1989-1991, and Caltech and MIT in 2004), the Institute is most often associated with MIT, where it has been held every summer since 1992, for various reasons including availability of local mentorships (with Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT, and Harvard Medical School all within a few minutes of central campus) and convenience of facilities. The program participants were housed in East Campus through 2003 and Simmons Hall from 2004-2013. Since 2014, RSI participants have lived in Maseeh Hall.
