Resources
Whether you're just starting out as a researcher or are preparing to present your findings at a conference, there are many resources here to help guide you along the way.
For Undergraduate Students
Each year we support 300+ students interested in research by matching them with faculty mentors, providing them with funding for tools, travel, and conferences; and by cultivating opportunities for them to mentor other students, to peer review journal articles, and to present research of their own.
For Faculty
The Aresty Research Center assists professors looking for support for their research. We encourage all Rutgers professors to post research opportunities, recruit undergraduate researchers, and guide students toward professional engagement with research. In return, the center connects faculty with terrific student researcher assistants.
For High School Students
Are you a high school student looking for experience at a top research university? Are you interested in learning from top-notch faculty, jumpstarting your college career, and earning college credits? You'll find plenty of opportunities for high school students to explore research at Rutgers.

The Rutgers Institutional Review Board (IRB) is charged with the protection of the rights and welfare of human research subjects while facilitating ethical research. Review by the IRB is required for research involving human subjects regardless of the funding source and also covers human subjects research without funding.

Engage in the Creation of Knowledge
A research university is a place where scholarly activity meets undergraduate education. Through the structured programs offered by the Aresty Research Center, students have the opportunity not only to observe firsthand how faculty conduct teaching and research activities, but also to participate in this creation of knowledge.
The Aresty Research Center is the central point of access at Rutgers for professors to advertise research opportunities, recruit undergraduate researchers, and guide students toward structured, professional engagement with research. We serve our faculty by connecting them with motivated research assistants and we support independent work by advanced undergraduates.
