Research Assistants. 9.01 The duties of a Research Assistant (RA) are primarily in support of a research program or other research-related work, and may or may not contribute directly to the graduate student’s degree program. The RA position is viewed as an apprenticeship for further academic or professional careers. In view of this, RA functions shall not include routine duties commonly associated with clerical, technical, or administrative work not directly related to research activities. 9.02 RAs are funded by University operating funds, restricted funds, or a combination of operating and restricted funds. 9.03 The duties of an RA are performed under the supervision and direction of the Assistantship Supervisor. 9.04 Departments will ensure RAs are trained for the duties to be performed and will include the training as part of the assistantship.
