Student Collaborative Research Grant Opportunities Fall 2022-Spring 2023
The Columbia Climate Institute’s Collaborative Research Grant provides undergraduate and master’s students the opportunity to conduct two semesters of paid research with renowned Columbia faculty. The program is unique in that it is student-oriented, allowing students to choose and pursue topics they are passionate about, while receiving mentorship from key members of the scientific community. Before applying for funding, students must identify a project and seek written approval from a faculty mentor who will oversee the project. Students will be required to submit a project outline and timetable, as well as a letter from the faculty advisor. See below for more information on the application process and upcoming deadlines.
the program
Students apply for funding for two semesters (Fall 2022 to Spring 2023), which will allow them to explore research projects more fully than a one-semester project. The funding rate for positions is $21.50/hour for a maximum of 10 hours per week, from September to May (up to a combined maximum of 240 hours for the fall and spring semesters). Applications will be accepted from students from different backgrounds and sectors as long as the research is focused on areas related to climate or environmental sustainability. Note, Barnard students, Teachers College students and Ph.D. Students are not eligible to apply.
The application deadline is Tuesday, August 30, 2022 at 11:55pm.
Students selected for funding will be expected to attend Climate School Student Research Showcase in spring 2023.
