Honors Summer Research Institute (HSRI)
An eight-week summer program where Dorman Scholars conduct faculty-mentored research, connect across disciplines, and complete a research milestone.
The Honors Summer Research Institute (HSRI) is an eight-week summer program intended to foster and promote interdisciplinary collaboration among Honors Scholars engaging in summer research with an NJIT faculty mentor or through an affiliated entity. Participating scholars learn about the wide-range of research conducted at NJIT through peer research presentations and discussions. The HSRI is a research milestone experience and scholars who participate fully will receive an honors course reduction.
The HSRI is open to all Honors Scholars conducting full-time, on-campus research during the HSRI period. Some examples of research experiences that would provide such research include the NJIT Provost Summer Research Fellowship, NJIT NSF REU programs, department- or faculty-sponsored research or assistantships. At the time of application to the HSRI, scholars must have an established relationship with an NJIT faculty member willing to serve as the applicant’s research mentor.
The HSRI is a unique educational, social, and research training opportunity. HSRI Scholars will work together with other scholars to learn how to present their research and how to critically review their peers’ research. The program concludes with presentations and awards at the NJIT International Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium on July 29 - 30, 2026.
Several funding options have been available for scholars to participate in this program over the past several years, such as through the Provost Summer Research Fellowship or an Honors College summer research award thanks to the generous support of ADHC alumni and friends. Below are the various Honors College awards which have been available to sponsor Honors Scholars’ full participation in the HSRI program and corresponding full-time research.
- Honors Summer Research Institute (HSRI) Grant
$3000 stipend, 8 weeks
Funded by the ADHC Dean’s Fund for Student Development
Applications from all disciplines will be accepted and considered.
- The Honors College Moonshot Grants for Engaged Scholarship
$5000 stipend and a $1500 budget, 10 weeks, 1 recipient
Funded by Rohini Kadle, MD and Vatsal Shah, PhD, PE '08H, '09, '15
The Honors Moonshot Grants develop and recognize bold, interdisciplinary projects that apply the unique technical abilities and training of Honors Scholars to important social and cultural questions. Ideal projects find innovative approaches that address major issues of common concern in an engaging manner that both helps raise awareness of, and resolve the problem. Local solutions to global challenges are particularly welcome. (In the event that a group project is selected, the total award may be given to the group based on the recommendation of the review committee).
- The Honors College "Life on the River" Grants
$3000 stipend, 8 weeks
Funded by the Albert and Joan Dorman Family Foundation
The Honors College "Life on the River" Grants support the interdisciplinary study of the history and impacts of the Lower Passaic River on neighborhoods in Newark, NJ. Grantees will receive funding to support their efforts to collaborate with local stakeholders to learn about communities' experience of the river and to develop engineering solutions to address local needs. Grantees will learn systems thinking and use a variety of historical, anthropological, and engineering methods to collect and analyze the data they gather and will present their findings both at the NJIT International Summer Undergraduate Research Symposium and to community stakeholders. Students will receive support from a faculty advisor as well as industry professionals to complete their research.
- The Honors College Langan Grant in Civil and Environmental Engineering
$3500 stipend, 8 weeks, 1 recipient
Funded by Langan Engineering, Stewart Abrams, Principal, ADHC Board of Visitors
The Honors College Langan Engineering Grant supports proposals within the field of Environmental Engineering or Environmental studies broadly defined.
- The Honors College ANS Grant
$3500 stipend, 8 weeks, 2 recipients
Funded by ANS, Vatsal Shah, PhD, PE '08H, '09, '15, Principal Engineer
The Honors College ANS Grant supports an outstanding project in civil or environmental engineering or related projects.
