SURE Program

During this SURE module, students are introduced to responsible conduct of research (RCR) as a standard practice for researchers. The discussion will begin with a presentation on the definition of RCR and underscore why it is important in order to properly conduct research in all disciplines. Speakers will present real-life case studies to illustrate the consequences of research misconduct.

During this SURE module, UROP staff members discuss the basic considerations when thinking about graduate school. Students will gain insight on topics like searching for a program, finding an advisor, and applying. The second part of the discussion includes a panel of guest speakers from different disciplines that will each provide their unique perspectives on topics like reasons/expectations for pursuing advanced degrees in their field, what criteria the programs met and why they chose their respective programs, qualities of successful applicants, etc.

During this SURE module, students are given hands-on training on Zotero, a free program that helps researchers efficiently organize and properly cite references. Students can expect to gain practical knowledge on managing and using references effectively as one of the first steps in the responsible conduct of research. Participants are requested to bring their own computers and must have Zotero and the browser connector already installed before the event. In-person seating is limited but remote participation via Zoom will be made available.
