## Research 101: Kickstarting Your Research and Creative Endeavor Career at Harvard

The series will introduce students to the research ecosystem at Harvard and the opportunities to pursue research within it; help students better understand (and narrate) their research interests and questions; identify and cultivate relationships with faculty mentors; understand and craft key portions of most research/creative endeavor funding opportunities; prepare for summer opportunities; and more.

While the series is aimed at those starting out in their research journey, intermediate and advanced students may still find value in the materials — and the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers as we move through the autumn.

The series will be flipped classroom style, with **weekly asynchronous modules** that students can complete at their own pace, complemented by **conversation and discussion on Fridays from 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM**, a mix of in-person and Zoom meetings. The series will start on Monday, October 6 at 4:00 PM in-person and run through Friday, November 21 — preparing students to identify and apply for summer research opportunity deadlines that will fall in February.
