This is Part 1 of the CUNY Research Scholars Program 2026 - 2027 application. Once you complete Part 1 of the application, you also need to submit completed Part 2 forms (can be obtained from here).

About the Program: The CUNY Research Scholars Program is a year-long program which provides full-time students enrolled in associate degree programs with funded opportunities for laboratory research with a faculty mentor. In addition to participation in research, the program includes mandatory workshops on lab safety, responsible conduct in research, and other research-related skills. Students must also complete training through Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI), if not done already, and submit their CITI certification within the first six weeks of the program; submit an abstract, prepare a poster and participate in the poster sessions towards the end of the fall and spring semester; and participate in the CUNY-wide summer symposium at the conclusion of the program.

Participating students commit to one full academic year plus the summer program, ~400 hours of research/independent study. The following is the program requirements for the number of hours:

Fall semester: 60 hours or ~ 6 hours per week - $1000

Winter/spring semester: 60 hours or ~ 6 hours per week - $1000

Summer: 280 hours at 35 hours per week for 8 weeks - $3000

Eligibility: Full-time associate degree students at any stage in their academic career can participate. It is understood that some students will transfer to baccalaureate programs - this may result in students no longer being eligible to participate in the program. Baccalaureate students with less than 50 credits competed are also eligible for the program.

In order to maintain eligibility students must be full-time, and engage in laboratory experiences in the Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) disciplines. This includes computer laboratory experiences.
