If you are currently a UWM undergraduate and are interested in getting involved in a faculty-led research experience, you can start by looking through this database of over 600 projects that represent the kind of mentored work students are involved in all across campus. You can search research projects by school or college, major, or key word. You may add up to seven projects to your list and submit them with our simple form.
Please note, this is not an application or Handshake, it is an interest form notifying us that you are ready to get connected to research. The purpose of this database is to help you find people doing things you are interested in. We will follow up with you shortly via email with next steps!
Faculty and academic staff can post a project by filling out this form.
The Global Atlas project begins with a scoping review to identify idioms, metaphors, and culturally specific expressions of psychological distress documented across the globe. This mixed method study aims to examine what these expressions communicate in local cultural contexts, then it will organize them into a dictionary of global idioms of distress, disease and suffering worldwide.
Identify communicative challenges of parenting, whether that be around atypical family types (e.g., estranged, too “old” or too “young parents, one-child families), managing screentime, talking about gun violence, using corporal punishment, or experiences of military deployment.
The objective of the research is to assess the value of videos on a YouTube channel created by Catholic Charities in being used in Nursing/Health Care education. The videos are created to help newcomers (immigrants and refugees) to better understand and navigate the US health care system, staying healthy, and getting care. They are positively impacting the lives of newcomers. Now we want to know if they could be a teaching tool and build empathy and understanding in current health care professionals or students training to be health care professionals. The project is funding by the UWM DIG grant with the goal of testing this idea and then using our outcomes to apply for other grants. Our methodology is to recruit undergraduate pre-nursing and nursing students and have them participate in a pre-post survey along with viewing the videos. In phase two some students will also participate in focus groups. Our biggest challenge is the outreach and recruitment since we are not teaching in the undergraduate nursing program so having a student to work with us is ideal.
