Harrison McCain Student Research Internships

Application Form


Full-time and part-time faculty are invited to apply for funding to hire student interns/research assistants. Faculty members may hold up to two awards at one time.  Applications will be assessed by the Senate Research Committee and must describe both the research/creative project under consideration and the extent to which the proposed project will constitute a mentoring/learning opportunity for the student. Student internships differ from research assistantships in that training and skills development are integral to internships. For that reason, a project’s (a) research outcomes, (b) student intern tasks, and (c) the research skills linked to both of these outcomes and tasks, must all be clearly described and linked to one another. Applications should also clearly indicate the nature of student supervision/mentoring by, and engagement with, the faculty member. HMSRI awards must be used within one calendar year of the date of award.



Value: $2,000
