STRIDE Projects

Hi everyone!

I know the projects come out in early summer and you pick four projects and rank them, but getting opportunities to do research in a field I’m interested in is something that’s very important to me. If I contact a professor and he/she gives me permission to work in his/her lab, do you know if I could use it as my research project for STRIDE?

Thanks!

I am a current 1st year STRIDE and I am not entirely sure but my best advice to you would be that a) they give you a list of maybe 50 projects and there are plenty to choose from. b) If you already have a professor in mind it can’r hurt to email them, but keep in mind that certain labs/profs are better set up to take on STRIDEs and it is not worth starting out way over your head.
