CIRTL @ Texas A&M Teaching-As-Research Application

The Teaching-As-Research Fellows Program is a full-year time commitment to develop a project, apply for IRB approval, collect and analyze data, and present results. If accepted, you will be mentored through the entire process and graduate and professional students can receive payments for meeting project milestones. Each Fellow will need a faculty partner (typically the instructor of record for the course you will conduct your research project in).
It is not required that you have a project concept, course, or faculty partner information to apply. If you do, there are fields below for you to share this information. If you do not, we can work to match you with a faculty partner/project.
Please note this project should be supplemental to your thesis/dissertation research if your research is education-focused. We do not provide support or stipends to conduct thesis/dissertation research.

Please note that postdoctoral scholars are not eligible for the stipend.
