Triton Research and Experiential Learning Scholars (TRELS) Seminar Program
We invite faculty from all disciplines, including Arts and Humanities, to submit a Research Seminar Proposal. You may access the submission form below. If you have any questions or need assistance with the proposal submission, please contact Provost Leslie Carver at 858-534-4004.
The Triton Research and Experiential Learning Scholars (TRELS) program was initiated in 2018 by UC San Diego’s six (now seven) Colleges. The goal of the TRELS program is to encourage students who otherwise may be unaware of experiential learning opportunities, or who face obstacles toward participating in such opportunities with funding to support independent research, art, service, and study abroad opportunities. TRELS provides opportunities for students from all disciplines, but is especially aimed at underrepresented students, first generation college students, and students from departments less traditionally associated with traditional research.
Research Seminar Goals
Research Seminars should have the following goals:
- Orienting students towards research in a disciplinary area (department or division). Research is defined to include scholarly or creative activity in the context of any academic discipline.
- Topics include: research groups, typical research projects, and specific faculty projects.
- Developing a research, art, service, or other project idea
- Preparing a project proposal
- Approaching faculty members
- Identifying potential mentors
Ideally, the six seminars offered would be distributed across disciplines/divisions.
