the crucial connection between public policy, medical research and health issues– connections which the student himself was not aware of before starting SRR. After discussing ethics in Boot Camp, a student in anthropology and peace studiesbecame taken with the profound ethical issues implicit in research conducted in the conflictzones of the world. As her SRR project she undertook to develop a novel framework forrecognizing and addressing these issues. This framework then became the basis of a peer-reviewed published paper. 10 A third project took the results of the student’s engineering research and, using asmartphone app, made them available in a clear and accessible form to practitioners.

Survey of StudentEngagement from 2006, many of the external obstacles facing NT students contribute to thedifficulty for them to develop peer relationships (study groups) at the university [14].Those students that are employed and seeking degree completion identified many professionalbarriers exhibited in the workplace including a lack of tuition reimbursement, competing timemanagement schedules, and/or lack of release time from work. Also institutional barriersinhibiting access to higher education included the high cost of tuition, and diminishedaffordability [4].

Along this process, activities that are mandated for this concept arealso prepared in advance as a set of what we call TIED-UP sheets.
