Undergraduate Research Assistants: Alignment With EPAS, Funding Opportunities, and Promoting Student Growth

Saturday, October 26, 2024
12:30 PM – 1:00 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 10A
At the bachelor's level, there are minimal paid research opportunities, and little research evaluating its effectiveness. In this poster, we highlight the social work skills BSW students contribute to research, and how it advances CSWE EPAS, and share how we use existing funding to expand BSW student research opportunities.

Learning Objectives:

  1. List the benefits of research assistantships for students in terms of learning and career opportunities
  2. Describe the skills that social work students can bring to the research team; and describe the ways this experience algins with CSWE EPAS
  3. Share resources including the federal work study program, independent studies, and internal university research opportunities
