Fueling the Next Generation of STEM Leaders
Founded and led by physician-scientists, Regeneron knows that the future of science depends on fostering the next generation of leaders who will advance scientific research and critical progress. STEM-Fueled is our collection of programs and partnerships that empowers future scientific innovators to pursue bold ideas and advance world-changing solutions.
Making the impossible possible
THROUGH STEM-FUELED INITIATIVES
Since 2020, we have brought more than three million STEM experiences to students through Regeneron-supported community programs — and we aren’t slowing down. As we look ahead, we will continue to advance STEM-Fueled initiatives that inspire, equip, and propel the next generation of innovators who will change our world.
Focus areas
Our commitment to STEM-Fueled comes to life across three focus areas and many programs and partnerships that help strengthen the STEM ecosystem:
Creating pathways
By ensuring students have the resources, mentorship, and real-world experiences to pursue careers in STEM.
Championing educators
By empowering and equipping them with the critical resources needed to foster future scientific innovators.
Celebrating science
By recognizing and rewarding the best and brightest young minds who have the potential to shape our future.
Discover our STEM-Fueled programs
We are committed to advancing STEM by creating pathways, championing educators, and celebrating science. Our STEM-Fueled programs and partnerships provide hands-on student experiences, teaching fellowships, and science fairs designed to elevate the next generation of leaders.
REGENERON SCIENCE TALENT SEARCH (STS)
Regeneron STS is the U.S.'s most prestigious pre-college science and mathematics competition focused on finding future leaders in STEM and awarding them and their schools with $3.1 million each year.
Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF)
Regeneron ISEF is the largest high school STEM competition, giving the world’s noteworthy young scientists a global stage to share outstanding STEM research and compete for more than $5 million in awards, prizes, and scholarships. We also support ISEF affiliate fairs in the communities where we operate, from New York to Ireland.
Additional programs
The Regeneron DNA Learning Center
A program of the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the Regeneron DNA Learning Center includes two state-of-the-art laboratory classrooms at our Sleepy Hollow campus, where visiting middle and high school students receive hands-on biotechnology instruction from educators and Ph.D. biologists.
Regeneron High School Science Research Mentorship Program
For over a decade, this immersive, scientist-led summer experience has given high school students the opportunity to conduct hands-on research alongside Regeneron scientists.
The Regeneron Postdoctoral Training Program
The Regeneron Postdoctoral Training program – a multifaceted program that integrates cutting-edge science with didactic training, discussion groups, and focused, multi-tiered mentoring – aims to nurture developing scientists, bolster the scientific pipeline, and enhance Regeneron’s strong tradition of publishing innovations in science.
The Regeneron Prize for Creative Innovation
The Regeneron Prize honors up-and-coming postdoctoral fellows and graduate students for exceptional talent and originality in biomedical research.
The Regeneron STEM Academy
In partnership with the Troy City School District, this multi-year program enhances STEM education for students in grades 9-11 through hands-on experiments, capstone projects, off-campus learning experiences, and visits to Regeneron’s Tarrytown headquarters.
Advocate Program
Through our partnership with Society for Science, we advance a year-long professional development program that supports teachers and mentors who are working to increase the number of students who enter STEM research competitions.
YPIE Regeneron Science Research Program
Yonkers Partners in Education engages students in Yonkers, NY, Jersey City, NJ, and Nashville, TN through a three-year, credit-earning science research experience that develops skills, fosters mentorship, and expands opportunities, with a significant number of participants advancing to higher education in STEM fields.
STEM Teaching Fellowship
Since 2013, Regeneron has partnered with the STEM Leadership Center to offer a competitive 16-month fellowship for New York and Tennessee science educators, providing STEM teaching preparation and professional development, including graduate coursework and a two-week lab mentorship at Regeneron.
High School Research Teachers Conference
In partnership with Society for Science, Regeneron brings research teachers of all experience levels together to share best practices and explore topics such as managing student research projects, STEM focus areas, research communication, and supporting underrepresented students in STEM.
Featured STEM partners
Cultivating the next generation of innovators requires an ecosystem of educators, mentors, and communities working together. Through our STEM-fueled partnerships, we invest in this network to empower future STEM leaders to ensure progress continues.
