【 摘 要 】

Collecting publishable data with only undergraduate research assistants (RAs) is difficult;conducting research with young children or non-human primates (NHPs) adds a layer of difficulty,yet we have been able to successfully sustain and grow research programs in DevelopmentalPsychology and primate Behavioral Neuroscience at Trinity University (TU), a primarilyundergraduate institution (PUI) in San Antonio. We each have been conducting research for over25 years, with most of that time at this type of institution, and have developed effective strategiesfor publishing articles with undergraduates in this environment.
