Planning a Project
Research at Meredith is defined by discovery, creativity, integration, and application. Your project should accomplish at least two of these aims, which are defined as follows:
- Discovery generates knowledge we didn’t have before and uses analytical methods to do so.
- Creativity generates new insights or interpretations that foster reflection about our world and ourselves.
- Integration brings forth new perspectives by linking what we know and/or what we do in new ways.
- Application reveals how knowledge leads to new practices or technologies or material innovations.
Your faculty sponsor is best prepared to help you develop and edit your abstract. If you would like additional support, please contact Dr. Duncan at research@meredith.edu.
