Description
The Roberts Research Group offers valuable research opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. Working with an interdisciplinary team of experts in genetic counseling, health behavior, health education, and bioethics (among others), qualified students can develop their skills and knowledge alongside the experts.
Through Summer Internships and Research Assistant positions, students are involved with various ongoing research projects, further developing skills in areas such as the following:
Research interviewing
Development of health education materials
Critical review of relevant literature
Recruitment and outreach
Data management and analysis
Manuscript and grant preparation
Summer Internships are available and prioritized for U-M MPH students between their first and second years. Internships are an excellent learning experience, and we encourage students to take advantage of these great opportunities.
