As first semester creeps slowly to a close, it is important to begin thinking about where second semester will take you. Freshman, now that you've had a chance to settle in to Penn a little bit, you may want to consider getting some research experience in a lab. Upper classmen, it's never too late to start. If you're not interested in doing research with any of the professors you've taken classes with, CURF is a great resource to help connect you with other potential mentors.
The research directory on CURF's website can help you search for proffesors who are looking for volunteers, independent research projects and work study students.
Another important way that CURF can help you get started in research is, of course, funding. Although faculty may already have grant money to conduct research, if you're starting your own project or traveling this summer you may need to get funding of your own. Here is a list of the grants that CURF offers. If you're still confused or just want help finding out which grants are appropriate for you, don't hesitate to sign up for a research consultation at CURF.
Good luck!
