Join UW Libraries for the eighth annual Graduate Student Research Institute (GSRI). Registration is now open.
The Graduate Student Research Institute is a free, asynchronous multiday online workshop offered by UW Libraries. Its goal is to help new and returning UW graduate students research smarter, not harder.
What GSRI can help you do
- Learn skills and strategies for effective academic research
- Become familiar with core tools and resources for research productivity
- Connect with support units across 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 while working through key content and activities from the Graduate Student Research Institute site.
There are no required meeting times, and students can complete the workshop activities at any time during the session.
Additional benefits for registered students
- 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 Sept. 14-18, 2026, during autumn quarter.
All incoming and current UW graduate students are welcome to register.
