Funding for SRI
All participants in SRI receive funding for their research. In 2024, student researchers in SRI will receive a stipend of $6,000. SRI students also have access to subsidized on-campus housing for the duration of the 10-week program. Student financial support for the 暑期研修院 is derived from a combination of grants and programs, 以及许多个人捐赠者的慷慨.
Please note:
- As mentioned above, all students accepted to SRI receive funding for their research—regardless of whether their faculty mentor is able to support them.
- The source 资助的数额因学生而异. Most 是Barnard直接支持的吗. 其他项目则由部门资金支持, government grants, 资料由他们的导师提供, or other awards that may have additional applications (see below).
- Each year, students are also encouraged to apply for special funding sources (which may have specific application deadlines). Frequently, these special funding sources may provide additional funds to support housing costs; or connect students to smaller cohorts of students; or are simply valuable to include on a resume (examples below).
- Students can receive SRI funding to work in laboratories at Barnard or other colleges, institutions, and universities in New York City and the New York Metropolitan Area.
- In cases where a student is accepted to SRI and their faculty mentor can provide partial funding, a student will receive the remainder of their SRI funding directly from Barnard.
- All students should discuss whether their mentor has funding to support them when talking about the possibility of joining their lab.
- Details about additional opportunities and funding sources are below.

为SRI争取资金
Most students in SRI receive funding directly through their affiliated department. The faculty in each department allocate and make decisions about these funds (which are provided to the departments by the Office of the Provost), 基于SRI学生插槽的可用性.
Many students working with Barnard faculty receive funding directly from their faculty mentor, typically because the mentor’s research is supported by an individual grant. You can talk with your mentor to ask if this is the case.
就是外部导师, faculty whose academic home is somewhere other than Barnard—may be able to fund their students directly (either partially or entirely). They may be funded by a grant that provides support for undergraduate research assistants; or perhaps they have access to funds through their home institution. In all cases, if you are approaching an external faculty mentor to ask about the possibility of mentorship, you should always feel comfortable asking whether the mentor has the capacity to fund all or part of your research.
When you apply to SRI as the mentee of an external mentor, we'll ask whether that faculty mentor has the ability to support your work. 外部资金的可用性 不影响你的申请. It merely helps the Planning Committee understand what funds might be coming from external sources. See our 关于寻找导师的常见问题 for tips on having this conversation about asking for funding.
As we note below, there are a few other awards and programs that students annually pursue to fund their research. These are distinguished awards and we always encourage students to apply! 你可以在网站上询问有关这些节目的问题 sri@china-otclm.com.

The Program to Inspire M少数民族和服务不足的本科生 E环境健康科学 Research (PrIMER) 研究项目是全日制的吗, 未被充分代表的本科生少数民族, and underserved students who are typically underrepresented in STEM fields. PrIMER is funded by the National Institute for E环境健康科学s and provides research trainees the opportunity to gain valuable research experience in environmental health sciences. Students from Colleges and Universities in the New York City area are eligible to participate.
提醒一下,PrIMER (Program to Inspire M少数民族和服务不足的本科生 Environmental Health Research). 这是一个令人兴奋的, paid opportunity for undergraduate students at local NYC schools to conduct research at (on site) 在哥伦比亚大学.
