High School Initiative in Remote Sensing of the Earth Systems Engineering and Sciences (HIRES), an innovative program within the City University of New York Remote Sensing Earth System (CUNY CREST) Institute, The City College of New York, provides advanced Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) research opportunity to New York City (NYC) students.

HIRES is part of the NYC Science Research Mentoring Consortium funded by the Pinkerton Foundation and it aims to recruit and train a student community with little or no access to high quality STEM education.
