Regional Research Awards

If you are an undergraduate student and have done empirical research, consider presenting a poster or paper to share your work with the professional community. By presenting at MPA as a Psi Chi member, you will be eligible for a Regional Research Award available to members of the Midwestern region. More importantly, you will gain experience and confidence. If you are not yet a Psi Chi member, check out our website and talk to your local chapter to see if you are eligible to join. And even if you are not a Psi Chi member, you can still present your work at MPA through the Psi Chi program!
