Opportunities
Four ways in: get funded by us, find a program that pays, use your campus fund, or join our team.
Get funded by SRI
Hold an offer for a research position that pays nothing, or too little to live on? We pay housing, living costs, books, and journal fees.
Find a program that pays
We keep a directory of research programs that pay students: federal programs, research institutes, hospital labs, scholarships, and programs for high school students. Every link goes to the program's own page.

Use your campus fund
Most research universities run their own undergraduate research funds. We link to the office at each school where our students work.
Join the team
Students run SRI. We need people for company outreach, grant writing, student review, and editorial work.
Get ready
Not at the application stage yet? The student toolkit covers how to find a lab, how to email a professor, and how to read a paper. The free books list covers the basics without a bookstore bill.
For companies and foundations
Fund a student researcher
Your gift pays for rent, a stipend, books, or a journal fee. It goes to a student who has the position and lacks the money to take it.
