Restriction: Permission of department. Students must apply through the VIP@Maryland application process in order to join a VIP team.

How do undergraduate students come to see themselves as researchers? What shapes their experiences, builds their confidence, and helps them navigate challenges? Rooted in social and data sciences, the Research/Research VIP Team analyzes student experiences using multi- andmixed-methods approaches. In addition to addressing questions about undergraduate research experiences, our team works to better understand, test, and propose best practices for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance traditional qualitative research methods. Team members will develop hands-on skills in qualitative research, mixed-methods research, and experience analyzing data using AI & machine learning techniques.
