About the Lab

SEAP interns might support DEOMI's research efforts in various ways: conducting extensive literature reviews of peer-reviewed journals and books to provide a solid empirical background on a topic; collecting data using online surveys or during DEOMI classes from in-residence students; statistically analyzing databases to identify patterns and trends; creating data graphs and charts to display results; and creating posters to explain a study's purpose, methods, and results.

What will I do any given day as an intern at this lab?

Interns participate in lab functions in a number of ways including (but not limited to) assisting mentors with guided research projects; job and project shadowing with professional researchers; attending technical meetings; networking with STEM professionals and other interns; group mentoring sessions; team and leadership development; touring labs; and other professional development activities.

What majors and disciplines are a good fit for interning at this lab?

The primary subjects of interest include:

• Behavioral Science
• Social Sciences
• Statistics and Probability

What will I learn as an intern at this lab?

NARMU Dayton has two distinct laboratories. Interns working with EHEL will gain hands-on research experience supporting toxicological and physiological exposures and learn data analysis and interpretation, as well as risk assessment tools. Interns working with NAMRL will learn research techniques and approaches in applied biomedical and behavioral sciences.

What kinds of projects do interns at this lab participate in?

• Field Support Products: Series of web-based products designed to educate DoD audiences about key issues identified in military human relations policy and to enable facilitated discussions about such issues within units and organizations (e.g., PowerPoint Slides, Fact Sheets, Discussion Guides, Scenario-based Training Videos). 
• EOAC Research: Interdisciplinary and mixed methods evaluation and applied research conducted with students enrolled DEOMI’s in-residence Equal Opportunity Advisor Course (EOAC); past projects include electronic surveys, behavioral experiments, focus groups, and usability studies. 
• Advanced Learning & Simulation Lab (AL&SL): Currently under development, DEOMI’s AL&SL will use mixed reality simulations (virtual, augmented, and immersive environments) to assess the effectiveness of immersive learning experiences on improving learning outcomes in military human relations training. 
• Training Evaluation: Designs, develops, validates, and applies instruments to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of equal opportunity and related human relations training offered by DEOMI and other military organizations. 
• MEO/EEO Ecosystem Analysis: Ongoing evaluation of Military Equal Opportunity (MEO)/Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) programs utilizing mixed social scientific methods to investigate federal program alignment, effectiveness and impact of training/education, stakeholder mapping, and practitioner experience in the field, fleet, wing, and delta. 
• Misc. Pilot Studies and Topical Projects: Literature review research on emergent and policy-driven topics germane to military leadership, human relations, and equal opportunity, as well as data collection and instrumentation piloting among military members and civilian employees at joint-Service institutions.
