The IBRC offers a Research Assistant Program to faculty, post-docs, and graduate
student researchers who have used our lab before. This program offers an opportunity for Duke undergraduate students to be matched with a researcher for a semester-long volunteer research assistantship.
Before each term (Fall, Spring, and Summer I) the IBRC recruits and screens undergraduate applicants for our available research assistantships. (If you are interested in applying to be an RA, see the Research Assistant Program for more information)
If you are a researcher interested in getting matched with an RA, before each term (Fall, Spring, and Summer I) the IBRC will reach out to all researchers who have used the lab to ask if you would like to request an RA.
RESEARCH ASSISTANT PROGRAM IS CURRENTLY PAUSED. We hope to resume in the distant future.
The IBRC offers a limited number of $600 mini-grants exclusively for participant
payment to researchers utilizing IBRC resources. If interested, follow the steps listed on the Start Your Research page.
We also offer:
– Research design and analysis support
– Equipment information and training
The IBRC offers access to the Duke Behavioral Research Participant Pool to researchers utilizing IBRC resources! Participants are Duke undergraduates, graduate students, and staff as well as community members from across the Triangle.
Research coordinators manage the participant pool via SONA software, and researchers can set study requirements based on participant characteristics (i.e., age, gender, student vs. community member status). A prescreen assessment collected from all participants will ensure that only those who meet study requirements will participate in your study.
If you are interested in becoming a participant in the Duke Behavioral Research Participant Pool, see Be a Participant for further information.
