Deadline: February 13, 2009
The College has several competitive programs that offer students and
faculty the opportunity to collaborate on scholarly work. Research
projects can be undertaken with continuing faculty (those on
tenure-track or rolling contracts). Summer projects can vary from
four to ten weeks in length. Some of the summer programs involve
continued work during the school year. Student participants in the
summer research programs present the results of their projects at
the Pomona College Summer Research Poster Conference at the
beginning of Fall semester. Proposals must be submitted by the deadline
and are reviewed by the
Faculty Research Committee. The Committee decisions are sent
sent to both students and professors by email. Because the
application procedure differs for research assistants and
independent summer research projects, it is important to read
the application instructions provided below carefully. A student/faculty pair may apply to more than one program simultaneously as long as the requirements of each application are met.
Research Assistantships
This program provides grant(s) to faculty members to support
Pomona College student(s) as summer research assistant(s).
Only continuing faculty (those on tenure-track or rolling
contract) are eligible to participate in this program.
Students interested in working on a Pomona College faculty
member’s research should contact the Pomona College faculty
member with whom they would like to work. Summer
research assistants are hourly employees who earn $10.00 an
hour, not to exceed a total of $400 a week. The
duration of the position is determined by the amount of
support awarded to the Professor. The faculty member
may apply for additional funding of up to $500 for supplies,
travel, or subject payments as part of the research
assistantship application package. Application cover
sheets and instructions for these opportunities are
distributed directly to the faculty. Submitted
applications require a one-page statement from the student
stating how the research assistantship relates to the
student’s long term goals. While the application for a
research assistantship is prepared by both the faculty
member and the student, the complete application package is
submitted to the Associate Dean’s Office by the professor.

Independent Summer Research Grants
This program provides a grant to a student to pursue his/her own
research agenda with frequent and substantive faculty mentoring.
If you are applying for an independent grant, you must demonstrate
that you have had courses on research design that are relevant to
your proposed project. The stipend for a ten-week research project
is $4,000. Stipends for projects awarded less than 10 weeks of
funding will be prorated at $400 per week. In addition,
students may apply for up to $500 for supplies, travel, or subject
payments. Research involving human subjects must be approved
by the Pomona College Institutional Review Board. Students
applying for independent grants must demonstrate they have had
courses on research design that are relevant to the proposed
project. All
continuing Pomona faculty are eligible as mentors, as are faculty in
the five-college academic programs. During the term of the
award, students are expected to engage in full-time research.
These grants are available to students in any field of study.
Please note; proposals that resemble independent study courses will
not be funded.
