Hi Preeti -

We do a high school research project in which we place research teams in labs and they do research for a full year. We are putting together a website. Here is a link. Its a little rough right now but we'll be working on tweaking it.

Also heres a blog post on Huff Post about it.

What's nice about the program is that the researchers are so enthusiastic about the interest of the students that many of them help the students come up with their own research topics and have them do all the research and analysis. One team published in PLoS One. We're working on expanding the program. I'm happy to answer any questions about it and it would be great to see it replicated elsewhere.

I am specifically searching for programs where youth spend more than 50 hours working with the scientist, the program is based out of the museum, the youth have to communicate the work they did in some sort of paper or presentation, and the program is specifically designed for youth who may not ordinarily have access to such opportunities. So far I only know of us at AMNH, Yale Peabody and Smithsonian.
