Program Overview
The SHARE program supports undergraduate research projects in the social sciences, humanities, and arts. SHARE is designed especially for students in the earlier stages of their college careers as a means of introducing students to research in their chosen field and of developing skills they will need for further research projects.
In this research apprenticeship, students spend an average of 9 hours per week during the spring semester working on a faculty project. Ideally, a SHARE partnership will continue past the spring semester, allowing both faculty mentor and student apprentice to continue the project, potentially leading to a more independent role for the student.
Examples of SHARE apprentice duties may include, but are not limited to: conducting library research, assisting in experiments, coding and/or analyzing data, and conducting and/or transcribing interviews.
During the Spring semester, student apprentices will receive up to $1,500 in stipend funding, paid out as hourly wages, and faculty mentors will receive a $500 professional development stipend.
SHARE Teams
SHARE teams consist of a faculty mentor and one student apprentice who apply jointly for the program.
Faculty members are encouraged to identify early career students who would benefit from a SHARE apprenticeship and invite student apprentices to work with them on a potential SHARE project. Students interested in the program may also approach faculty members to express their interest in a potential SHARE apprenticeship.
This program prioritizes early career students with little to no prior research experience. Students from underrepresented backgrounds, 1st generation students, and students with high financial need are encouraged to apply.
SHARE Recipients
Past SHARE recipients have worked within and across a range of disciplines in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. These projects represent some of the possibilities for faculty-student collaboration through this award program.
