The Office of Community Engagement & Partnerships has convened the Graduate Student Applied Research Network (GSARN) for students who conduct applied research in Tampa Bay and surrounding areas.

Too often, graduate researchers are unaware that students with similar interests, who use similar methods, and who focus on the same communities are working right across campus. Our goal is to overcome some of those divides, and help graduate students find peers with whom they can discuss common concerns.

We anticipate that graduate researchers will come from across colleges and disciplines. What these students will have in common is an interest in conducting research that addresses real world problems, and doing so in a way that is mindful of the needs and concerns of community residents.
