Regeneron Science Talent Search

再生元科学天才奖

America's oldest and most selective science competition for high-school seniors — decoded, task by task, with data.

美国历史最悠久、竞争最激烈的高中生科研竞赛——逐项拆解、用数据说话。

The Science Talent Search has run since 1942 — first under Westinghouse, then Intel, and since 2017 under Regeneron. Each year roughly 2,500 high-school seniors submit an individual research project; 300 are named Scholars, 40 become Finalists, and the top award is $250,000. Alumni include Nobel laureates and Fields medalists.

科学天才奖（Science Talent Search）自 1942 年开办至今——先由西屋（Westinghouse）冠名，后为英特尔，2017 年起由再生元（Regeneron）冠名。每年约 2,500 名高中毕业年级学生提交个人科研项目：300 人入选「学者」（Scholars），40 人晋级决赛（Finalists），最高奖金 25 万美元。校友中不乏诺贝尔奖与菲尔兹奖得主。

This guide condenses everything we know about STS: the full application map, the official judging rubric, an original analysis of a 463-project scored docket, and an evidence-based playbook built from reading complete Top-400 submissions.

本指南汇集了我们对 STS 的全部研究：完整的申请任务地图、官方评审量规、对 463 个已评分项目名单的原创数据分析，以及基于通读完整前 400 强申请材料提炼出的实证攻略。

The Season赛季流程

How a cycle unfolds一个赛季如何展开

Eligibility is narrow: you must be a high-school senior either living and attending school in the United States (any citizenship), or a U.S. citizen attending school abroad — and the research must be individual work. Projects conducted with other high-school students are ineligible, full stop.

参赛资格很窄：必须是高中毕业年级学生，且要么在美国就读（不限国籍），要么是在海外就读的美国公民——并且研究必须是个人独立完成。与其他高中生合作的项目一律不符合资格。
