Students who do not have sufficient research experience to design and carry out their own Undergraduate Research project gain first-hand mentored knowledge of research practices in their discipline, while faculty who would not otherwise be able to hire Research Assistants (RAs) get help with their own projects. The goal is to help students from any discipline who have no prior research experiences and are not yet ready to do independent research to get training and mentoring in the research methods of their chosen discipline. Faculty can apply with a particular student(s) in mind, or the Center for Academic Innovation can assist in finding a student for them. Applications are written and submitted by Faculty Mentors, not by students. Students looking for a Research Assistant position should reach out to faculty they'd like to work with and discuss the opportunity. HOW TO APPLY FOR A RESEARCH ASSISTANT GRANT Funding Information Funding Information For the fiscal year, the maximum award is $1,500 (~ 200 hours of work). If students choose to space out the 200 hours over two 15-week semesters, students would work about 6 hours a week. Funds go towards RA's hourly wages ($7.25/hour) and are paid directly to the student RA(s) through York College's payroll system. *Students cannot begin work until they have filed payroll paperwork and are in the payroll system.
