The Diversity Scholars Research Program (DSRP) is a performance-based, faculty-mentored scholarship directed toward academically talented first-time or incoming transfer students. Scholars connect with a faculty mentor to conduct research. Scholars from racial and ethnic populations who have been historically underrepresented in higher education and whose presence will enhance the learning environment through increased diversity are encouraged to apply. Students will learn about various components of the research process (Abstract/Introduction, Literature Review, Research Methods, and Research Ethics). DSRP is located in the Center for Research and Learning within the IU Indianapolis Institute for Engaged Learning. Students must be fully engaged in a research project at minimum of 6 hours per week or no more than 10 hrs. per week, meet at least twice per month with their mentor, attend any lab meetings for the lab they work in, complete all of the Canvas Modules in the SCI-I225 course, Pass the TCM 19900 and 29900 (freshmen) course, present their research at either one or both of the IU Research conferences, and submit a research proposal outing what they expect to accomplish for the academic year. The proposal should show progression of the research project from year to year, and must be approved by the student’s research mentor.
