How To Get Started
Getting started only requires two steps.
- Review potential projects listed below under research opportunities.
- Make an appointment to meet with Samantha Giordano-Mooga, Ph.D., director of SHP Undergraduate Research. Email her at
shpurh@uab.edu to discuss your interests and opportunities.
It is not necessary to have a mentor or project in advance, we are here to help you find a research experience for your career path!
Note: All Health Professions undergraduate students conducted any type of research are required to take Responsible Conduct of Research Training (RCR); HRP 200 (1 credit hour, online, P/F). This University and Federally mandated requirement for RCR training is required whether you are volunteering, being paid or earning credit hours.
We house a list research opportunities for you here. Other opportunities may also be available, so be sure to contact Dr. Giordano-Mooga at
