Unlocking Opportunities, Empowering Your Academic Advancement 

Ready to take the next step in your research journey? Whether you're a beginning researcher, a budding scholar, or simply curious about the world around you, we're here to support your exploration! 

Have you considered joining a professor's research team? Want to apply for and receive your own grants? Considering a career as an academic? Dive in and discover how we can support your intellectual pursuits! 

Learn more about research in the allied health professions from: 

  • The National Institutes of Health, the world's largest public funder of health research 
  • The Health and Human Services Department, the federal government's largest funded cabinet-level department 
  • The Grant Development Center in Texas' Department of State Health Services 

What’s Available to Me? 

The Research Enhancement and Support Team (REST) has curated several resources for graduate students within the college and university, and through major funding agencies. 

First, read why you should get involved in research (and we believe, yes, you should!). Then, explore opportunities within the college, university, and beyond. Review presentations from your fellow students that resulted from their research internships and jobs. Some students even turned their research presentations into publications. Students often add these experiences to their resumes because employers value them! 

You should also know that the government has several programs that help students repay their student loans through public research and service. Here are a few of these programs: 

  • The National Institutes of Health’s Division of Loan Repayment 
  • The US Public Health Service
