Mi-SHARC partners with affiliates to navigate the research process by connecting them with methodological expertise, data and statistical resources, project development support, and collaborative opportunities across the University of Michigan. Whether you are refining a research question, building a multidisciplinary team, preparing a grant proposal, or conducting data analysis, Mi-SHARC serves as a connector to the people and resources that can help move your project forward.
Launching a research project can feel overwhelming, but as an Affiliate you don't have to navigate it alone. Mi-SHARC connects Affiliates with the expertise, resources, and support needed to move projects forward—from refining a research question and identifying collaborators to locating relevant datasets, developing study designs, creating analytic plans, and accessing statistical expertise. Whether you're just getting started or need support at a specific stage of your project, we're here to help connect you with the people and resources that can turn your ideas into impactful research.
Need support getting your research project off the ground, or keeping it on track? Mi-SHARC offers Affiliates access to project management support to help coordinate the many moving parts of complex research initiatives. From project planning and team coordination to milestone tracking and communication, a dedicated project manager can help keep your project organized and moving forward, allowing investigators to focus on the science while ensuring a collaborative and efficient path from project initiation to dissemination.
Sharing your research is just as important as conducting it, and the publication process can be complex and time-consuming. Mi-SHARC offers Affiliates support throughout the dissemination process, including journal selection, manuscript formatting and submission preparation, coordination of co-author reviews, abstract submission planning, and tracking deadlines for conferences and publications. We can also assist with managing revisions, resubmissions, and publication timelines to help keep your project moving forward. Whether you need comprehensive publication support as part of project management or assistance with a single manuscript or abstract, we're here to help make the process more efficient and simple.
