2. Find a Faculty Mentor
The next step is to find a faculty mentor who is willing to supervise your research. A faculty mentor can provide you with guidance and support throughout your research experience. To find a faculty mentor, you can attend research talks, meet with professors during office hours, or reach out to professors via email.
3. Apply for Funding
Once you have found a faculty mentor, you will need to apply for funding to support your research. There are a variety of funding opportunities available for undergraduate and graduate students. You can find information about funding opportunities on the Northwestern University website.
4. Submit a Proposal
The final step is to submit a proposal for your research. Your proposal should include a description of your research project, a statement of your research goals, and a budget. Your proposal will be reviewed by a committee of faculty members who will decide whether or not to fund your research.
