About us

STRAND (Student Research at Notre Dame) provides a central web-based location for researchers to post and students to apply for research projects at set times throughout the year using a clear and equitable platform.

This site is based on Duke University's Muser program. The STRAND pages were built by Jay Beaton Consulting.

Once users have logged in, the STRAND team can be contacted by clicking Contact at the base of any page on the site.
