Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI)
September 14-18, 2026
Register by September 11, 2026 by 5 pm: https://sites.uw.edu/libid/register/
Join the UW Libraries this summer for the eighth annual Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI)! The Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI) is a free and asynchronous multi-day online workshop offered by the UW Libraries with the goal of motivating new and returning UW graduate students to explore tools and strategies to research smarter, not harder.
GSRI can help you to:
- Learn skills and strategies for effective academic research
- Become familiar with core tools and resources for research productivity
- Connect with relevant support units across the UW campuses
- Build community with other UW students and campus support staff
Students receive five days of online guidance and support from a team of Libraries volunteers as they work through key content and activities from the openly available Graduate Student Research Institute site. There are no required meeting times and learning can take place anytime within the span of the workshop session.
Additional benefits for registered students include access to:
- Daily tips and resources for research, using the Libraries, and being a graduate student at UW
- Optional synchronous live events and programming
GSRI will take place during one week in Summer 2026: September 14-18, 2026.
All incoming or current UW graduate students are welcome to register for GSRI.
