Questions faculty ask

How much time does this take?

Your choice of one 15-minute call or a five-minute form. After that you only meet students we have already screened

How many students will you send?

As many as you ask for, and only the ones who are a real fit

How do you handle student information?

We handle all student information with FERPA and other privacy protections in mind, and every lab signs a mutual data sharing and confidentiality agreement with us. Student information stays private and is kept in a secure database

Which departments can join?

Every department. There is no limit on fields. Research Reach is built to work across all of them, and our biggest goal is to bring every department at IU on board
