Support Science!
We are running a 5K to give other students the same opportunity we had in the 2013 Summer Research Program at BRInj.
Who Are We?
The Biomedical Research Institute of New Jersey (BRInj) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing medical research while educating the next generation of research scientists.
BRInj is devoted to the study of diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, stroke, movement disorders and complications affecting premature babies. Each year, BRInj hosts high school and undergraduate students as part of its Summer Research Program. This
program is an 8-week experience designed for undergraduate students and a 1-week experience designed for high school students to conduct research in a state-of-the-art laboratory under the guidance of scientists and physicians.
The Run with BRInj Team is a group of seven students who participated in the 2013 BRInj Summer Research Program. We are organizing a 5K run/walk to raise funds to help expand BRInj’s Summer Research Program and offer this opportunity to more students. This
run/walk 5K is personalized; on Saturday, October 5, 2013 - the running team and each person joining our cause can run/walk anytime / anywhere and post their run/walk on Facebook through an app for smart phones called MapMyRun. When you sign up to run/walk
we will send you instructions on how to download the app and post your run/walk.
What is Run with BRInj?
Run with BRInj is a fundraiser to promote the importance of research and to give other young students the opportunity to engage in applied research. We want to ensure the sustainability of BRInj’s Summer Research Program - allowing more high school and college
students to have the chance to become involved in applied science, explore their potential, and find a career focus in the fields of health, medicine and science.
We encourage our friends, family, and peers, as well as advocates of science, to run with us, and support our cause by making a donation.
All proceeds will go towards covering expenses of materials, supplies, and other costs associated with the program for the 2014 BRInj Summer Research Program.
Why Should You Contribute to Our Campaign?
There are limited opportunities for students that offer academic research programs and at the same time offer the opportunity to be directly involved in cutting-edge-research in science and medicine. Your contribution allows us to increase our reach and engage
a greater number of motivated students considering careers in health, medicine or science.

You can:
· Run your personalized 5K and make a $20 donation
