Undergraduate and graduate students from the Medical Campus and
the Charles River Campus are encouraged to explore the website and
read more about our research programs. We often have openings for
work-study students. We welcome students interested in pursuing
an Honors or Masters thesis, using existing datasets. Medical students
may also investigate funding opportunities through the GCRC Summer
Research Program.
Required background for graduate students:
- Completion of coursework in research methods and design
- Some background in psychology - especially child development
or physiological psychology
- Willing to commit to working on a project for 8-10 hours per
week over 4 - 6 months
Undergraduate Students:
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is a University-wide
program that is dedicated to helping students locate faculty-mentored
research projects and to providing financial support for such research
projects. One current goal is to increase the number of participants
from all academic disciplines, including the arts, engineering,
humanities, and sciences. All faculty are eligible to mentor undergraduate
research projects, regardless of whether their school or college
has undergraduate programs.
Students receiving funding for the Spring semester typically perform
15-20 hours of research per week. Funding opportunities for which
you may apply include:
- Student Research Award (SRA): up to $2,000, paid entirely by
UROP directly to the student as a stipend;
- Faculty Matching Grant (FMG): up to $1,000 paid by UROP, and
the remainder (e.g., $1000) paid by faculty mentor's department/grant
directly to student as a stipend;
- Funded Research Opportunity Grant (FROG): awards up to $750 for
research supplies, transferred directly to faculty mentor's department.
