This call for project proposals is open to any NSHE faculty member to request the support of an undergraduate student intern on a semester-long data analytics-focused research internship. Students can contribute their data analytics skills (Python, SQL, and/or database management) to support ongoing faculty research.
We welcome projects from any discipline that involve skills in data analytics – from data cleaning and organizing (spreadsheets and dashboards) to the use of SQL and Python in research. Projects that advance the study of topics related to wildland fire will be given priority, but all topics will be considered.
