Strands

We've listened to feedback from students and faculty from our previous round of research matching. For the current round (Late Fall for Spring 2025), we've expanded the time for faculty to post projects (you now have until November 1), and the students will also have more than two weeks (November 2 - 17) to apply.  Application review will take place from November 18 through December 8.

This expanded round should give everyone a bit more breathing room to get their projects and applications in order.

For many students, there is not an obvious time of the year to search for research positions.  One way to take the guesswork out of this is to have fixed times for posting and applying for research positions.  Normally, STRAND will have 3 rounds / year:   

One of the features of the software underlying STRAND is the "handshake" badge. The badge indicates that the mentor posting the project in question has agreed to develop an expectations and structure agreement with their student researchers.

Welcome everyone and thank you for testing out the Student Research @ Notre Dame (STRAND) site. This project is an effort to make it easier for students to locate and apply for research opportunities. If you are looking to recruit students for your research, scholarship, or creative projects this term (either for academic credit or for pay) and are interested in using the strand.esc.nd.edu site, please read on.
