Beginning in Fall 2019, the Interdisciplinary Research Fellows topic gives students a chance to connect with faculty in a new way. Students will be able to partner with full-time faculty to work on highly specialized projects and research initiatives in this new faculty-led IDS 401 option.
Students who have taken part in research projects in the past have gained many benefits from the experience, such as learning how to conduct experiments, analyze and report data, present findings, as well as how to move forward after a setback.
Requirements
- Must be in academic good standing with a minimum 2.0 GPA.
- Meet all posted requirements for the specific faculty projects you are applying for.
Application
Each application will be a little different. Students interested in complete the IDS 401: Research Fellows should email all requested information under the "applicant requirements" section for each of the projects they are interested in applying for by the posted deadline. This will usually include a resume and unofficial transcripts, but many have project-specific application requirements. Please make sure to include all requirements. Please email this information to cisainternship@asu.edu with the subject "Research Fellows Application" by the posted deadline. This is a highly competitive option and will require students to be organized and plan. No extensions will be given. Since this is a highly competitive option, students are encouraged to apply for their top three choices. This leads to the greatest likelihood of being placed.

Description
Students in the course will learn to apply various strategic skills and tools to understand the Economic, Political, Social, and Cultural situation in the East Valley communities served by the Polytechnic Campus.
Groups will be organized into a business structure with a leadership team coordinating student research. This leadership team will develop an overall report that combines the work of all the teams into a report. The leadership team will be chosen by an interview process with the entire cohort. Student groups will present the results of their analyses at the CISA Showcase at the end of the semester.
Each team will conduct research on the economic, social, political, and cultural capacities and vulnerabilities. The teams will meet weekly to learn about the techniques they will use and how to conduct the research to complete it. Students will also meet weekly to conduct real-time collaborative analytical sessions that will provide them with experience using various structural brainstorming techniques.
