After years of research, I've developed a research proposal for an idea that I believe holds merit. However, being a junior in high school, I'm finding it difficult to reach someone in my area who would be willing support my research. Quite honestly, I'm not even sure where to look. I have no connections to any universities and the emails I send are never returned. My proposal contains a step by step experimental approach. I'm reaching out to the forum community to see if I can get any advice on where to search for someone who might be willing to read my proposal and help me carry out my studies. I have investigated many different fields of science such as biochemistry, oncology, genetics, and thermodynamics. All of those fields, I have been directed to by school teachers suggesting I wait until post-graduate school in any one of those schools to finish my proposal. Despite my lack of interest in majoring in the natural sciences in college, I would prefer to begin my research sooner. Any advice would be appreciated.
