Faculty Senate Research Week is an annual forum for the entire USU community to share research achievements, foster collaborations, and stimulate intellectual exchange. Research Week includes poster presentations, invited speakers and panel discussions. It is a part of USU Research Week, which also encompasses the Graduate School of Nursing (GSN) Research Colloquium and the Graduate Student Colloquium. Research Week promotes research by faculty, staff and students at USU and its affiliate institutions, provides opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration, and facilitates communication among USU graduate students and faculty. These events serve to inform the local scientific community, collaborative institutions, and other federal agencies about significant research projects conducted across the health sciences at USU and its affiliates.
