NRMN is Virtually Everywhere

The purpose of this course, Launching Research, Part 1: Laboratory Readiness, is to inspire students to confidently explore research and acquaint them with skills that they will use throughout the course of their education and career. The purpose is also to introduce the concept that research can provide new and exciting opportunities. This course will help mentees or students get acclimated and introduced to the research laboratory and laboratory setting.

If you are a faculty, PI, administrator, etc. and would like to have your students/mentees take the course, we can help you create your own cohort/group and start enrollment. Email us at info@nrmnet.net to get started!
