The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) provides students with a multitude of opportunities for professional development and career training in research. OUR’s Research Skills Academy (RSA) consists of a series of research-related workshops that serve to inform and empower students with research training and skills to become research ready.

All RSA workshops are held virtually through Zoom unless noted otherwise. Please click on each workshop link below to learn more about its contents as well as to RSVP!

In addition to RSA webinars, OUR offers research-oriented instructional support for UNLV faculty through classroom presentations. Faculty may request these in-demand trainings below.
