The OSR’s Amy Chen will be presenting on cross-cultural research as part of her discussion series on Thursday, March 4th at 3:00 PM CST. This presentation will go over four papers that examine the difficulties of research between cultures and the implications for future research in this area. This second installment of the discussion series will further discuss research methodology across different fields and how to improve the methodology used to include certain voices and experiences in research.

The OSR wants to make all undergraduate students aware of the upcoming deadline to submit oral or poster presentations for The Chicago Area Undergraduate Research Symposium (CAURS). This is one of the largest annual undergraduate research conferences in the country, which brings together undergraduate students in the Chicagoland area from all academic disciplines to present their research. The symposium will be virtual and the deadline to submit an abstract is Friday, February 26th.
Even if you are not interested in presenting, we encourage students to register to attend this event, as this is a great opportunity to view and experience the impressive breadth and depth of research being conducted by their peers in various disciplines. Attendees also have the opportunity to network with other undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and representatives from industry and graduate and professional schools.
CAURS is also looking for graduate students and faculty to serve as judges for the event. Registration closes on February 26th, and details can be found at https://www.caurs.com/closed-registration.
The OSR will be providing daily drop-in sessions starting Monday, February 8th!

When deciding to conduct research, you may find yourself choosing to explore data that has already been collected and is publicly available. Below is a how-to guide on how to search and access public datasets using a topic example. Although this guide uses HealthData.gov to demonstrate the process of searching for datasets, be advised that there are multiple databases to browse through. Make sure to view our other two posts (A Guide to Getting Started with Online Databases and Databases for Online Research) to get some ideas on other databases you can use to access public datasets.
