Student External Research Policy

The goal of the Student External Research Policy (SERP) is to provide an outline for an efficient, uniform, and compliant process for enabling students’ to develop research opportunities with external partners (within limits related to safety, liability, and ethics). This policy applies to students and faculty at the UCR SOM, and all research conducted must fall within the parameters of the policy.

The video below, featuring Director of Scholarly Activities Daniel Novak and Asst. Dean of Student Affairs Danny Teraguchi, provides an overview of the policy and commonly asked questions.
