Research Sprints: One Week, One Project

Research Sprints offers all faculty and unclassified staff the chance to work intensively with a team of librarians for one week on a research or instruction project. 

In the spirit of advancing greater access to research and education, the 2019 Sprints will focus on Open Access and will award a $1,000 stipend to recipients. 

KU Libraries is committed to open education, open research, and equitable access to information. By incorporating open pedagogy into courses and making research more freely available, Research Sprint recipients will contribute to the growing Open Access community and its commitment to social justice initiatives.
