Presentation: Building Trust During Research — A Student Perspective

Building trust with those involved on a research project is vital. Our presenters bring a unique student perspective in how they build trust during the beginning phases of research projects. They will share methods they've used to motivate participants and stakeholders to contribute to and to want to be a part of their research.

This will be a beginner/intermediate level presentation with time for Q&A.
