The primary focus of the project is to understand the impact of a peer mentor training course.<\/p><p><strong>ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/strong><\/p><p>This project examines the impact of a peer mentor training course based on experiential learning on undergraduate students\u2019 civic-mindedness and disability awareness. Data collection has already been completed. The selected UM Scholar\u2019s focus will be on analyzing qualitative (written responses) and quantitative data (surveys). The UM Scholar will be responsible for attending meetings, discussing approaches to data analysis, and carrying out the analytic work (especially for acquiring reliability of analysis).<\/p><p>By the end of the project, students will collaborate on drafting and submitting a research proposal to an international conference based on their findings.<\/p><p>The main goals of the project are to:<\/p><ul><li>Apply a mixed methods approach to explore the research question.<\/li><li>Participate in drafting a research proposal for an international conference.<\/li><\/ul><p>The UM Scholar will participate in weekly Zoom meetings to learn about methodological approaches and apply those skills to data analysis. At the end of each week, the UM Scholar will check in with the mentor to share progress, give feedback, and ask questions. Continuous training and guidance will be provided throughout the project.<\/p><p>If funding is available and the proposal is accepted, supporting student attendance at the conference would be a valuable opportunity.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>IDEAL CANDIDATE<\/strong><\/p><p>This project is ideal for a student interested in learning about peer mentor approaches and those who are familiar with qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Though prior knowledge is preferred, students will be exposed to a range of methodologies through hands-on activities throughout the project.<\/p><p><strong>ELIGIBLE STUDENTS<\/strong><\/p><p>Students from UMB\u2019s School of Graduate Studies, School of Medicine, School of Dentistry.<\/p><p><strong>PROJECT LOCATION<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>This<\/strong> <strong>project will be conducted in hybrid format<\/strong> \u2013 mostly remote and in-person once a month.
