Any advice for online master’s student looking for research opportunities?

Hi there!

I am a master’s student receiving supervision hours. The more I learn, the more I realise I don’t know anything 😂 and the basis of all science and effective intervention is truly understanding research methods and statistics.

I have a very small research background from one summer working at a psychology lab during college and it was mostly analysing qualitative data. I don’t even count this.

I don’t know about getting my phd since it seems like a hefty road but I would like to make use of the opportunity I have and try to get some research experience.

Couple of questions:

1. is this better to pursue while already established as a BCBA? Would it be too much trying to get fieldwork hours, coursework and working full-time?
2. any tips on how to get involved in a lab (preferably related to BA)?

Any tips, advice, constructive criticism, or encouragement would be greatly appreciated!

Context: I am an online student at FIT, living in Ohio. I have reached out to professors in my main coursework about opportunities.
