Directed Research/Independent Study

Directed research/independent study in biological sciences: basic science, social studies of biomedical science, and clinically-oriented projects, mentored by individual faculty members in the Division of Biology and Medicine. Sites include campus and hospital based facilities. Projects can serve as the basis for Honors theses, or to fulfill research requirements in a Bio-Med concentration program. Students planning to use 1950/1960 to fulfill a concentration requirement must receive approval from the concentration advisor. No more than two (2) semesters of BIOL 1950 / 1960 may be used toward a concentration program in the biological sciences. Faculty from outside the Division may supervise projects for bio-med program concentrators, but should do so using their Department's own Independent Study course number. Registration for BIOL 1960 requires the submission of a formal Project Proposal Form: https://brown.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6KYM101CeOasFXE.
