research ideas can now be awarded funding of up to $600 through a new annual competition sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). CTY is establishing the CTY Cogito Research Awards to</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: red;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">help
offset the costs associated with conducting research in math and science for selected middle and high school students. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“Many innovative projects never get off the ground because students don’t have the funds to buy microscopes or travel to conferences where they
can connect with experts,” says Patricia Wallace, senior director of <i>CTYOnline</i>. “Some students might never even try to test their original hypotheses if they can’t afford to carry them out. The CTY Cogito Research Awards address that gap by making funding
available to bright students with solid research ideas.”</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The award is one of the benefits of membership to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.cogito.org/"><span style="color: blue;">Cogito.org</span></a>,
CTY’s online community and website for middle and high school students interested in science and math. CTY will issue a call for entries on the Cogito site on Sept. 1, 2013. Up to 10 students who submit the most compelling, promising research proposals will
be selected by a committee composed of Johns Hopkins CTY faculty from various math and science fields. The inaugural group of CTY Cogito Research Award winners will be announced on Dec. 31, 2013. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Following their selection, each of the 2014 CTY Cogito Research Award winners will be paired with a mentor to support them through their research
process. They will also blog about their projects on the Cogito site. “Students sharing what it’s like to do science, including their trials and tribulations, in a friendly virtual environment—that’s a big part of the Cogito mission,” says Kristi Birch, Cogito’s
managing editor. “The CTY Cogito Research Awards will not only provide these students with financial assistance and mentoring, they will also connect them with a supportive online community of students interested in doing real-world science and math research.”</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"></span></div>
