Research Opportunities
Sidebar
The University of Louisville School of Nursing encourages both undergraduate and graduate students to participate in Nursing research. Student researchers are encouraged to present at local, regional, and national conferences, such as Research!Louisville or at Posters at the Capitol.
Students interested in research are encouraged to discuss it with their academic advisers. Here are just a few of the research opportunities available to students:
Assistantships
Graduate and PhD students are encouraged to consider student assistantships available to them. Research assistantships give students hands-on experience working with Faculty at many stages in the research process.
To find out more information visit the Graduate Assistantships webpage.
Research Scholars Program
Upper division undergraduate students at the School of Nursing can participate in the Research Scholars Program, a practicum experience aimed at promoting nursing research and scholarship through faculty mentoring. Participating students may gain experience performing literature searches, developing research studies, assisting with manuscripts for publication, presenting findings, and more.
To find out more about the Undergraduate Research Scholars Program, contact NursingResearch@louisville.edu or view the Research Scholars Program application.
