Graduate Student Research Institute

Are you:

• an incoming graduate student looking for research tips and advice?
• a continuing graduate student hoping to boost your research skills?
• an RA about to start work on a new or intensive research project?

Description

The Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI) is a free and asynchronous multi-day online workshop offered by the UW Libraries with the goal of motivating new and returning UW graduate students to explore tools and strategies to research smarter, not harder.

GSRI can help you to:

• Learn practical skills and strategies for effective academic research
• Become familiar with core tools and resources for research productivity
• Connect with relevant support units across the UW campuses
• Build community with other UW students and campus support staff

Duration

There are two separate sessions of GSRI being offered in Summer 2023. Each one is online and mostly asynchronous (e.g. no required meeting times, some optional events via Zoom).

Session A: August 21-August 25, 2023
Session B: September 11-September 15, 2023
