“While the takeaway of the project was rather somber, I enjoyed being part of ongoing research that contributes to helping those in need. I definitely feel that the HSRI has been a strong addition to my resume and helped me strengthen my research skills--especially when it comes to analyzing and extracting data and information from research articles. I would recommend the HSRI to anyone who is looking to start out in research and doesn't have previous experience; the weekly workshops and instructors were very helpful as guides for the pace of the research as well as helped keep me on track to meet my goals." – Justin Vasquez
