The research ecosystem minor is an interprofessional undergraduate curriculum that develops foundational skills across research ecosystems in various research domains. The minor is built on the premise that all research domains are increasing their research endeavors, including art, engineering, health, and education, and require trained and qualified professionals with expertise in both the research ecosystem and the content of their chosen domain. The minor’s courses focus on the competencies in job descriptions for various research ecosystem positions and the necessary skills to ensure the successful management and administration of research. Successful completion of the minor contributes to the building of professional staff infrastructure supporting research teams as they create impactful research. In addition to didactic and skills-building courses, students complete the minor with an internship focused on a research ecosystem position of their choice and within their research domain. This is a career-focused minor with the primary outcome being employed as a member of the research team.
Topic areas include: research ethics across research domains (education, social work, business, engineering, health, etc) in the Fall semester. Courses in site operations, team science, project management in the Spring semester.
