Each semester, COR Scholars work in these programs on research teams and then pre- sent your findings at professional meetings or publish in professional journals. As Scholars assist in the collection of data and the analyzes of theses data, they learn to how to formulate and test mental health hypotheses, use research tools and report results first hand. In the summer between their junior and senior years, Scholars travel to a major research university to become a part of a large mental health research team that includes graduate students, post docs and research scientists. When they return to HU in the fall, they prepare a presentation for the Annual COR Research Conference and for publication. During their senior year, Scholars take the GREs, complete the graduate school application process, and continue to conduct mental health research.
Scholars benefit from close association with and supervision by faculty researchers.
They also have many opportunities to experience all facets of the research process in exciting, real, relevant mental health research programs. They also receive generous financial support in the form tuition payments, a monthly stipend, and travel allowances .
