I'm a professor that mentored an Asian-American student this year as part of her AP Research class. She got into an Ivy. Exceptional student and interesting research project. [/quote]

My DS is a rising freshman and will be doing Research Biology in 9th grade. Please do you have recommendations on how to go about finding a mentor for a research project and also how to pick a topic? I am not sure if the topic is already provided by teacher. [/quote]
How does a rising freshman get to do scientific research?[/quote]

Anyone can attempt a research project but try try try to find a mentor to have a strong educational and valuable experience.[/quote]

If you live near a college, it is amazing how many professors just love to help put kids on the path.  Have your kid look at the local faculty and email them,

maybe go and see them.  They won't all be open to it but some will.  If your kid is serious they can tell.  I'll be forever grateful to the professor who took my kid under his wing.[/quote]

Thank you, George Mason University is the closest to us. Okay, will try reaching out. [/quote]
