Preamble:

The Project-Centric Internship on Research Methodologies is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the research process, from conceptualizing research questions to data collection, analysis, and reporting. By focusing on hands-on learning through real-world projects, participants will gain practical experience in key areas such as problem formulation, research design, and data interpretation. This 12-week internship will equip participants with the skills needed to conduct impactful research and contribute meaningfully to their respective fields.

Short Description:

This internship offers participants the opportunity to master the essentials of research methodologies, including proposal writing, problem formulation, and data analysis. Over 12 weeks, participants will work on actual research projects, allowing them to apply their learning in real-time, test their tools through pretests, and finalize research instruments. By the end of the program, participants will have collected and analyzed data, interpreted results, and drafted discussions.

Long Description:

The Project-Centric Internship on Research Methodologies is an immersive program designed for individuals aspiring to learn the end-to-end process of conducting academic or applied research. The internship provides a structured approach, covering key aspects of research, including proposal development, research problem definition, research design, sampling, and data collection tools.

Participants will not only learn theoretical concepts but also work on real-life projects, enabling them to conduct pretests, finalize questionnaires, and collect meaningful data. With continuous mentorship and feedback, participants will learn how to perform data curation, apply statistical tools, interpret results, and write effective research discussions.
