Research Assistantships

The Office of Research currently has three Research Assistants, these students are all in the PhD in Health Sciences program: one student fills the 20 hr/wk residential position, another student works the 10 hrs/wk residential position, and our final assistant works a 10 hrs/wk remote position. OR Research Assistants receive a stipend and a full or part tuition waiver. See RA Guidelines for more information.

Survey Development

The University utilizes Qualtrics for survey development and analysis. Qualtrics is a simple-to-use web-based survey tool to conduct survey research, evaluations, and other data collection activities. RMU students and faculty can receive support with their accounts and help with building a survey by contacting the Office of Research and submitting a ticket via our OR OKTA Ticketing system. Make sure you have completed basic training from Qualtrics: https://basecamp.qualtrics.com/page/beginner-quick-start.

Presentations & Printing

Presentation Templates

Presentation templates are available for students, faculty, and alumni use at professional or scientific meetings. Each template has modifiable headings and content but provides general guidelines for traditional poster presentations. Presentations related to all research, capstone, or coursework activities completed at RMU should include the RMU logo. Students MUST seek faculty or administrative approval (as appropriate) prior to using a poster template. This will allow the students to both learn from the faculty mentor and display the best quality poster presentation. Additionally, PowerPoint templates are available for general use.

Questions related to original research and presentation should be directed to the appropriate faculty, Graduate Program Director, or Director of Research.

Printing Services Posters can be printed free of charge for current RMU faculty, staff, and students. Poster files must be in PDF, size 3×4 feet, and utilize official RMU poster templates.
