Tip: Your college, school, or student organization (club) may have additional events tailored to your specific field of interest or student status (undergraduate, graduate).
Required training for student researchers
The Office of Research Compliance was established as a resource for investigators and the university as a whole to achieve and maintain ethical principles and compliance with federal, state, and university regulations governing research. Students may be required to take Research Compliance training for class assignments or if involved in active research studies.
First, talk to your professor or the research study Principal Investigator (PI) about what training may be required for your class or research. Then refer to the Office of Research Compliance resources for that particular training.
Example proposals
Reviewing successful proposals can encourage and assist new authors in understanding how great proposals should be written. Example proposals are available from select sponsors:
Research-focused student worker positions
