Army - Science and Engineering Apprentice Program
http://www.usaeop.com/programs/apprenticeships/seap/
The Science and Engineering Apprentice Program (SEAP) matches practicing DoD scientists with talented high school students creating a direct mentor-student relationship that provides students with training that is unparalleled at most high schools. SEAP participants receive first-hand research experience and exposure to Department of Defense laboratories. SEAP fosters desire in its participants to pursue further training and careers in STEM.
SEAP students work with their mentors, Army scientists and engineers, to gain “hands-on” experience in a professional research setting – where students are treated as research assistants rather than teenagers. SEAP provides students with the opportunity to learn how STEM research can benefit the Army as well as the civilian community. Students gain a broader view of their STEM field of interest and learn what kind of work awaits them in their future career.
At the end of the SEAP apprenticeship, students prepare and present final reports based on their research experience. All SEAP students who successfully complete their apprenticeship are awarded an educational stipend.

Army - The High School Apprenticeship program
http://www.usaeop.com/programs/apprenticeships/hsap/
The High School Apprenticeship Program (HSAP) provides current high school juniors and seniors with an authentic science and engineering research experience alongside university researchers sponsored by the Army Research Office. Though this commuter program students will develop skills in Army critical science and engineering research areas in a university lab setting to prepare them for the next steps of their educational and professional career.
A primary objective of the HSAP program is to provide a mechanism to expose new students to research opportunities in the sponsored laboratory. Thus persons with recent prior affiliation with a specific laboratory may not be eligible to receive an apprenticeship through this program. Prior affiliation includes direct employment, past compensated research (e.g. REU, other funded research, or research for course credit).

University of Chicago, Biological Sciences Collegiate Division - Research in the Biological Sciences: Summer Program Information
http://bscd.uchicago.edu/content/ribs
Research in the Biological Sciences (RIBS) is a four-week intensive training program designed to expose students to a broad range of molecular, microbiological, and cell biological techniques currently used in research laboratories. Students are immersed in the research experience, giving them a taste of "life at the bench".
Using a project-based approach, the course progresses from a survey of basic lab techniques to the application of current techniques in cell and molecular biology. Most of a typical RIBS day is spent in lab. We do not have a formal lecture schedule. Instead, lectures will be presented when needed to provide background and to introduce new concepts. Since communication skills are important in science, students will keep lab notebooks and they will make several group presentations. Notebooks are graded weekly to give the students feedback throughout the course. During the first two weeks of the course, students will learn basic lab techniques applicable in many research labs. For example, students will learn how to clone genes, PCR amplify their own DNA, and analyze DNA sequences. In addition, students will learn the basic operation of several types of microscopes, and will learn cell culture and fluorescence staining techniques.
