eCLOSE Institute provides training for scientists, teachers, and students to collaboratively solve community health challenges. 

Teachers: eCLOSE Class2Lab programming immerses your science students in original research projects they design themselves. Students first choose a health challenge and nutrients they think will improve the health of those they love. Each student completes experiments designed to test their hypotheses. Class2Lab aligns with curriculum standards in Biology, AP-Bio, Anatomy and Physiology, Environmental Science, and Pharmacology. Bring science to life at a low cost with eCLOSE Class2Lab!

Students: Interested in science? Worried about a loved one facing a health challenge?  eCLOSE is here to help you get your start in research!  Three levels of summer camps train you in core lab skills while supporting you to develop your own, original research focused on discovering diets that might improve health for your community. Programs are offered in-person in Philadelphia or via a unique hybrid format that allows you to research from your own home or school. It's a great way to meet budding scientists like you from all over the USA.  Reach out today!  admin@ecloseinstitute.org 

Supporters: THANK YOU for your incredible support as eCLOSE continues to grow, reaching >7000 students in just 6 years.  Please accept our invitation to join our community as donors, volunteers, and more.  Reach out!  We're happy to talk!  admin@ecloseinstitute.org

Scientists:  Just imagine if there was an efficient, cost-effective way to screen millions of dietary compounds for efficacy against the chronic diseases our communities face.  Just imagine if the scientists conducting the work were elementary, middle, and high school students, undergraduates, and professional scientists collaborating to uncover the secrets of communities previously untapped for health solutions.  eCLOSE is that dream come true!
