Abstract

Diverse students have difficulty obtaining research experience, especially during the pandemic. We increased our RA’s from 10 to 27. To manage these larger numbers, we created a one-semester experience focused on essential skills (writing, SPSS, R, graduate school preparation). Participants will be well-qualified to join other labs as permanent members.
