Include Graduate Research Assistants/Doctoral Research Assistants in your grant proposals!
One of the questionnaire topics in the grant submission process in Kuali asks some questions about whether the grant project will employ graduate/doctoral assistants. There’s a reason for that – graduate students can play a meaningful role in an overall grant project team and can provide key support in a wide range of project aspects. Importantly, writing graduate research assistants into a grant proposal provides students with funding, support, and excellent research experiences in their discipline, which is especially important if there is a shortage of university-provided assistantships.
