Research assistance grants are financial help provided to students working as research assistants on faculty research projects. The projects undertaken by the students have significant educational content and allow them to learn valuable research skills. Students employed through theses grants generally work for 8-10 hours a week for some time of their semester tenure and are not employed in other work-study job.
Since these grants are made to the faculty, to be paid to the students later, the proposals for research assistance grants should be submitted by the faculty members, academic departments or programs themselves.
