Researcher Responsibilities
In order to build and strengthen our capacity as a research station, it is essential for us to collect information on your research project so that we can report this information to our campus office of research, and so that we can build the SCIR research community. We would like to highlight your work and help you to connect your science to a broad community.
Annual research summary
Please provide an annual summary of your research using the following guidelines by June 30 of each year. Send the following information digitally to The Reserve Director at nrs-scir@ucsb.edu. Please mail hard copies of thesis and dissertations to the UCSB NRS campus office.
