Students choose an individual mentor during their second year from participating faculty members in the health sciences within Dell Medical School and other UT Austin colleges and schools. Mentors assist students in preparing realistic project proposals and timelines before the nine-month block begins. Mentors also provide research space, equipment and supplies, allocate time and attention on a regular basis to students to ensure a positive and meaningful research experience, and help in preparation of students’ final papers, poster and oral presentations for a culminating student research symposium. In addition to the mentor, the Research Distinction Advisory Committee (RDAC) will oversee all student research projects. The distinction committee will approve proposed project proposals and monitor the student experience and progress through individual research advisory committees. The individual committees will work in conjunction with the mentor to recommend the final grade of pass, fail or honors to the students.
