SHARE (Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts Research Experience) Awards<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fugradresearch.uconn.edu%2Fshare&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc79b4be275cd41bb345a08d8581e8b0f%7C17f1a87e2a254eaab9df9d439034b080%7C0%7C0%7C637356235482380458&sdata=biZ0bdMQwpfxOkUI2uJnmF5XOQsBZ4wLGRhkLZQ1Up8%3D&reserved=0>

Application Deadline: Monday, October 19, 2020

The SHARE Awards are research apprenticeships that provide early career students with little or no previous research involvement the opportunity to assist faculty mentors with a research project in the social sciences, humanities, or arts in the spring semester. SHARE is designed for students who are majoring or pre-majoring in an arts, humanities, or social science discipline, offering them an introduction to research and an opportunity to develop skills they will need for further research projects. We encourage faculty to identify promising first and second-year students they want to work with and invite them to apply for a SHARE Award. Student-faculty teams apply jointly for $2,000 awards, which comprise a $1,500 student stipend and a $500 faculty mentor stipend.
