About the GRA:
Made possible with support from the Graduate Student Association and the Office of Graduate Studies, the Graduate Research Assistantship Program intends is to extend the student’s classroom learning, expose them to current challenges in their discipline, build analytical skills, and provide a meaningful work experience that will also benefit faculty in the development of their research and scholarship agenda. Each year, funds contributed by the GSA, OGS, and ORCS are awarded as a small number of competitive grants to full-time faculty, for the purpose of hiring a graduate student during the academic year. Through this program, we also hope to encourage external grant applications that include graduate research assistants.
