Beyond the Grad Student — Teaching Undergraduates Through Research
60 Minute On-Demand Webinar. Available in CD, MP4 or PDF Transcript.
Undergraduate research is a field of its own, experts say, and you shouldn’t enter it as a second choice to the R01 environment.
So what’s so different between the undergraduate and graduate/postgraduate labs? Not as much as you might think. Nonetheless, you need to know what you can expect from this generally younger group … especially your undergraduate research assistant.
This on-demand training will provide you with the tools and strategies for shaping your undergrad research project results into significant, publishable findings. You’ll learn which techniques, attitudes and research skills you should teach these new researchers.
5 Key Take-Aways:
- What you need to know to keep your project on track
- Some funders actively seek to support young scientists … Here’s where to look
- Networking opportunity: National organizations offer support for undergrad researchers
- Offer a life-changing experience – How to have a positive effect on your young advisee
- Learn from youth: Undergraduate research teaches you skills and attitudes that will last a lifetime
