CARDOSO, Maria Lucília da Silva et al. Research Initiation Rotations: Research initiation Program for undergraduate students. []. , serVI, 1, e21021.   07--2022. ISSN 0874-0283.  https://doi.org/10.12707/rv21021.

Background:

Research Initiation Rotations (RIRs) fall under the Development Strategic Axis for Researchers’ Training of the Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing as part of the Young Researcher Window opportunities. Undergraduate nursing students volunteer to integrate research teams that develop activities linking teaching and research.

Objective:

To analyze the results of the five editions of the RIR Program involving undergraduate nursing students (2014/2015 to 2018/2019).

Main topics under analysis:

Thirty-two research projects involved 202 RIRs, 133 of which were successfully completed. In addition to the skills acquired as part of the research project teams, students attended nine training activities that were specifically designed for them.

Conclusion:

Successfully completed RIRs are included in the diploma supplement. Despite the limited time available due to curriculum demands, students have rated this experience as very positive. The integration of this program into the curriculum is a step to be taken in the future.
