Kuhn Library's Special Collections and Center for Biological Sciences Archives will be contributing participants in the History of Medicine Finding Aids Consortium. Managed by the National Library of Medicine's History of Medicine Division, the Consortium contains finding aids or research guides to over 3,600 archival collections from nearly 40 institutions. Other participants include the Medical Archives at Johns Hopkins University Medical Institutions, McGill University Osler Library Archives, and Columbia University Health Sciences Library.

Participating in this Consortium will bring increased access to the Center for Biological Sciences Archives collections and will better assist researchers in locating related archival collections outside of UMBC. For example, a researcher using the Consortium search to locate archival materials on immunology will find over 100 results, including the International Union of Immunological Societies records and the American Association of Immunologists records available at UMBC. This Finding Aids Consortium focuses only on archival collections that relate to the history of medicine; a more general archives search is available using ArchiveGrid.

How did you find your mentor for your research, scholarship, or artistic project?
My mentor, Dr. Gail Orgelfinger, was my professor for a Spring 2012 Honors Independent Study. She encouraged me to develop a research project as a part of the course, and to apply for the URA.

How did you know this was the project you wanted to do?
I am very interested in medieval studies, so I knew the perfect project would be incorporating my interests in British literature and history. With these things in mind, my research became about pilgrimage during the Middle Ages, in particular about St. Cuthbert and his association with the abbeys at Melrose, Scotland and Lindisfarne, England.

Is this your first independent research project?
Yes.

Do you get course credit for this work?
Yes, the URA is part of my independent study from Spring 2012.

How much time do you put into it?
I am not sure if I can count the hours! My time has truly been filled with study, editing papers, and planning my research in England.

How did you hear about the Undergraduate Research Award (URA) program?
I heard about it from my sister Allison, who graduated from UMBC in 2010.

What academic background did you have before you applied for the URA?
Junior status at UMBC and several classes focusing on the medieval period.

Was the application difficult to do?
The application was simple enough, save for making the statement of purpose concise and understandable. I had a difficult time putting my project in a short statement. Though overall, it is a simple application.

How much did your mentor help you with the application?
Dr. Gail Orgelfinger was very kind to edit my abstract several times.

What has been the hardest part about your research?
The most difficult part has certainly been trying to narrow down my subject and realize that I can neither understand nor cover everything I would have liked to have covered. Also, planning my trip along St. Cuthbert’s Way has posed many challenges and surprises. Although I would say that planning my research was more difficult than executing it, as I greatly enjoyed traveling through the English and Scottish countryside, visiting the abbeys, and interviewing people about my research topic.

What was the most unexpected thing?
The most unexpected thing about my research was uncovering all of the information about St. Cuthbert in Northumbria and the Scottish Borders, and how there is more relevance of pilgrimage in our times than I would have expected. While executing my research in Britain this summer, I was also surprised to see how much religious history has infiltrated contemporary culture.

How does your research relate to your work in other classes?
This project fits perfectly in my studies of religious history and pilgrimage literature.

What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research?
The opportunity to do research is something unique to UMBC. This is one of the reasons that I decided to transfer to UMBC from HCC, because it is not easy for an undergraduate to do this kind of research at any university. If you are prepared for editing papers, sleepless nights spent researching, and carrying hoards of books out of the UMBC library, then you are more than ready for a rewarding research project. I am grateful to have received the URA in order to travel to England to study what I love; it is an opportunity that should not be ignored by any serious student at UMBC.

What are your career goals?
My goal is to be a university professor, editor, and writer.

Did you transfer to UMBC from another institution? Where?
I transferred to UMBC in 2010 after taking my freshman year at Howard Community College, in Columbia, MD.

This REU program is sponsored by LearnLab, a Science of Learning Center funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).   We encourage applications from students who would like to conduct research in the fields of psychology, education, computer science, human-computer interfaces and language technologies. LearnLab's REU program allows talented undergraduates to spend 8 weeks during the summer in a research laboratory at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, or one of our research partners.  The REU program supports LearnLab's commitment to training a diverse set of science, technology, education, and psychology leaders.

Applications are encouraged from students who wish to learn to conduct research in a modern academic research laboratory under the guidance of experienced scientists and engineers and experiment in real classroom environments. The REU program will expose students to the excitement and opportunities of a research career. This experience will provide excellent preparation for students interested in subsequently pursuing a Masters or Ph.D. degree. Although students from other years may apply, this opportunity is most fitting for a student at the end of the junior year of undergraduate studies.

Each student will receive a fellowship stipend of $4000 for the eight-week REU program. Food, housing and travel will also be provided. Students will conduct research in an area matched to the interests expressed in the student's application. Guidance and supervision of the research project will be provided by the faculty member as well as, in some cases, a postdoctoral fellow and/or advanced graduate student.

Seminars specific to those participating in the REU program will be held weekly including seminars on graduate admissions and career opportunities in science, education, computer science and engineering. In addition, LearnLab seminars and those held by Carnegie Mellon's Human Computer Interaction Institute and Language Technologies Institute and seminars at Pitt's Language Research and Development Center will be open to the students, giving them exposure to a wide range of research in learning sciences.

There are several benefits that the participating students may receive. If the student’s research in the summer is of high quality and has added value to an ongoing research project, past students have been asked to be a coauthor on the research team's publication on that subject. Addition of publications to the resume of a graduate school applicant always greatly improves the application.  If the quality of the research is high, the faculty member who advised the student would likely be willing to write a letter of recommendation for the student which could be included in a graduate school application. Research experience in one of the National Science Foundation's premier research centers will be viewed attractively. Finally, a summer spent in one of the National Science Foundation's premier project areas is a plus in an application whether it be for entry to Carnegie Mellon or the University of Pittsburgh or to any other institution.

There are scholarships available for graduate work on projects in LearnLab. The student should inquire about these possibilities during the summer program.

REU Program Dates: Students will begin their research experience on Sunday, June 2, 2013 with a welcoming reception and information session.  The REU program will end on Friday July 26, 2013 with a poster session in the afternoon. Submission of an application indicates that the applicant agrees to be present from June 2 to 4pm July 26, 2013 inclusive.

Application Deadline: Deadline for applications is February 15, 2013. Students will be informed of our decision by March 1, 2013.

Minimum Requirements: Students should have a minimum of 3.5 GPA out of 4.0 although we will consider students who show by other measures that they are exceptional and who have GPAs over 3.2. Class standing and grades in specific subjects that are close to the field of research will also be considered, as are recommendations.

Number of slots/ positions available: LearnLab can accommodate as many as 10 positions, although in any given year, we may decide to fund less than 10 applicants ]]> Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have an exciting opportunity summer research experience for undergradates (REU) available for undergraduates. ... http://www.learnlab.org/opportunities/LearnLab_Summer_REU.php https://beta.my.umbc.edu/api/v0/pixel/news/22944/guest@my.umbc.edu/bb45bf77be14d537492d5281ec09ae03/api/pixel carnegie education mellon psychology research summer Undergraduate Research https://beta.my.umbc.edu/groups/undergradresearch https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/xsmall.png?1600355057 https://assets3-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/original.jpg?1600355057 https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/xxlarge.png?1600355057 https://assets1-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/xlarge.png?1600355057 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/large.png?1600355057 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/medium.png?1600355057 https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/small.png?1600355057 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/xsmall.png?1600355057 https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/avatars/groups/000/000/006/875606ced2b629148af4caa1a4e8dd3c/xxsmall.png?1600355057 Undergraduate Research https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/xxlarge.jpg?1359470521 https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/xlarge.jpg?1359470521 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/large.jpg?1359470521 https://assets2-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/medium.jpg?1359470521 https://assets1-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/small.jpg?1359470521 https://assets3-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/xsmall.jpg?1359470521 https://assets4-beta.my.umbc.edu/system/shared/thumbnails/news/000/022/944/dcb72788ee48cf08faca5dd9ea45513a/xxsmall.jpg?1359470521 30 0 true Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:42:20 -0500 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 09:43:42 -0500
