    People have many goals through UROP this year, and I am willing to be as flexible as possible to ensure that everyone gets to do what they want to do and learn what they want to learn. That can be done if a research assistant wants tasks designed completely for them with little flexibility. However, if the research assistants want more freedom in task design, I will happily accommodate them.

    This project is very young, and research assistants have the ability to impact overall project design, something that I do not think is popular among other projects. I am excited to meet everyone that applies and cannot wait to hear everyone's ideas.

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    This project delves into the multifaceted hurdles that young individuals encounter when aspiring to run for political office. As the dynamics of political engagement evolve, the understanding of unique obstacles that prevent youthful candidates from entering the political arena becomes more necessary. The project aims to dissect these barriers and provide insights for promoting more inclusive and diverse political representation. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review, qualitative interviews, and available stakeholder surveys, this project will examine the challenges faced by young people seeking political office. It will investigate socioeconomic background, gender, race, institutional structures, public perception, and resource access. By analyzing real-world experiences and perspectives of young individuals who have aspired to run for office, the project aims to uncover insights into the barriers they confront. 

    The project's conclusions will represent a deeper understanding of the obstacles that young individuals encounter in their political journeys. The findings will suggest strategies aimed at dismantling these barriers, fostering a more inclusive political landscape, and encouraging greater participation of youthful candidates in the democratic process. This project plans to empower and enhance political diversity and young voices while laying the groundwork for a more representative and equitable political future.
