Abstract

The benefits of individual undergraduate research projects to students include preparation for graduate work, enrichment of the academic experience, honing of problem-solving skills and more. However, the involvement of undergraduates in on-going multi-institution research projects presents a unique set of challenges. This poster describes the issues resulting from the involvement of undergraduates in a bioinformatics research project in the area of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
