LSI Research Advanced Competency

The purpose of the Advanced Competency in Research is to offer specialized learning opportunities in which students gain in-depth knowledge and experience to establish a level of competence in Research. Each student will develop advanced competency in research by engaging in a specific hypothesis-driven research project under the direct supervision of a current OSU faculty research mentor. The student is expected to have already developed foundational research skills while working on a summer or Med I/II part-time research project under the supervision of his/her research mentor. The student and faculty mentor should discuss and identify at least 1 primary and 1 secondary learning objective to be acquired during the AC in research over the period.

Each packet must be typed, no handwritten submissions other than signatures. Because each research project is unique, the objectives outlined in the packet can be tailored to your specific project using the rubric below.
