What is a Graduate Student Researcher?

General gsr qualifications.

• Academic standing for employment eligibility: Each graduate student researcher (GSR) must be in good academic standing (i.e., must not be on academic probation or have had his or her degree candidacy lapse), have a minimum 3.0 grade-point average, and have no more than two Incomplete grades in upper-division and graduate courses on the transcript. For more information about employment eligibility, please click here.
• Registration and enrollment: Each appointee must be registered and enrolled in at least 12 units of course work.
• Graduate standing: Each appointee must be a UC graduate student.

Applying to be a GSR

Benefits for graduate student researchers.

• Partial fee remissions - A partial fee remission is for TAs working 25 percent or more time, and GSRs working 24 percent or more time. This type of remission is equal to the amount assessed on your fee bill for tuition, the Student Services Fee and the Health Insurance Fee (if you have not had the health insurance requirement waived by University Health Services). A partial fee remission does not include campus-based fees (i.e. health services, transportation, student life, Graduate Student Association, recreation and Early Childhood Education Center). Currently, the non-resident supplemental tuition is covered for students if they are eligible for partial fee remissions.

Graduate School Applications: Writing a Research Statement

Welcome to the Purdue OWL

This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue University. When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice.

Copyright ©1995-2018 by The Writing Lab & The OWL at Purdue and Purdue University. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, reproduced, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed without permission. Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our terms and conditions of fair use.

What is a Research Statement?

A research statement is a short document that provides a brief history of your past research experience, the current state of your research, and the future work you intend to complete.

The research statement is a common component of a potential candidate’s application for post-undergraduate study. This may include applications for graduate programs, post-doctoral fellowships, or faculty positions. The research statement is often the primary way that a committee determines if a candidate’s interests and past experience make them a good fit for their program/institution.

What Should It Look Like?

Research statements are generally one to two single-spaced pages. You should be sure to thoroughly read and follow the length and content requirements for each individual application.

Your research statement should situate your work within the larger context of your field and show how your works contributes to, complicates, or counters other work being done. It should be written for an audience of other professionals in your field.

What Should It Include?

Your statement should start by articulating the broader field that you are working within and the larger question or questions that you are interested in answering. It should then move to articulate your specific interest.

The body of your statement should include a brief history of your past research . What questions did you initially set out to answer in your research project? What did you find? How did it contribute to your field? (i.e. did it lead to academic publications, conferences, or collaborations?). How did your past research propel you forward?

It should also address your present research . What questions are you actively trying to solve? What have you found so far? How are you connecting your research to the larger academic conversation? (i.e. do you have any publications under review, upcoming conferences, or other professional engagements?) What are the larger implications of your work?

Finally, it should describe the future trajectory on which you intend to take your research. What further questions do you want to solve? How do you intend to find answers to these questions? How can the institution to which you are applying help you in that process? What are the broader implications of your potential results?

Note: Make sure that the research project that you propose can be completed at the institution to which you are applying.

Other Considerations:

• What is the primary question that you have tried to address over the course of your academic career? Why is this question important to the field? How has each stage of your work related to that question?
• Include a few specific examples that show your success. What tangible solutions have you found to the question that you were trying to answer? How have your solutions impacted the larger field? Examples can include references to published findings, conference presentations, or other professional involvement.
• Be confident about your skills and abilities. The research statement is your opportunity to sell yourself to an institution. Show that you are self-motivated and passionate about your project.

Serba-Serbi Research Plan untuk Studi dan Beasiswa

March 22, 2023 • 4 minutes read

Berminat untuk melanjutkan studi di jenjang Master dan Doktoral di luar negeri?

Salah satu persyaratan yang sering diminta bagi pelajar internasional yang berminat untuk melanjutkan pendidikan pascasarjana, baik jenjang S2 maupun S3, adalah research plan atau rancangan penelitian dalam bahasa Indonesia. Tapi apa sebenarnya yang dimaksud sebagai research plan dan bagaimana menyusun rencana plan yang baik dan benar untuk keperluan studi dan beasiswa di luar negeri? Simak ulasan singkatnya dalam artikel di bawah ini.

Apa Itu Research Plan

Secara garis besar, research plan adalah kerangka kerja ( framework ) yang menggambarkan keseluruhan proses riset atau penelitian yang akan dilaksanakan, mulai dari tahap awal sampai hasil akhir yang diharapkan dari penelitian tadi. Di dalam kerangka kerja tersebut, kamu juga bisa memasukkan tujuan penelitian, rincian tahapan yang dibutuhkan yang perlu dilakukan untuk mencapai tujuan dan semua komponen yang dibutuhkan untuk mendapatkan hasil. Idealnya, research plan biasanya ditulis dalam 4-7 halaman (2000 – 3500 kata).

Struktur Research Plan

Umumnya, research plan memiliki struktur sebagai berikut.

Judul Penelitian

Buatlah judul penelitian yang ringkas namun tetap memberi gambaran yang lengkap tentang penelitian atau pertanyaan penelitian yang hendak diajukan.

Latar Belakang Penelitian

Di bagian ini, kamu bisa memasukkan berbagai informasi sebagai berikut:

• Latar belakang dari topik penelitian yang hendak diangkat
• Studi pustaka singkat untuk memberi gambaran tentang topik penelitian
• Ringkasan tentang perdebatan atau perkembangan terbaru tentang topik penelitian  

Pertanyaan Penelitian

Di bagian ini, kamu perlu menyusun pertanyaan penelitian yang perlu dijawab dan mengapa pertanyaan ini penting untuk dicari jawabannya.

Metode Penelitian

Di bagian ini, kamu bisa memasukkan informasi mengenai kerangka teoritis yang dipakai, metode penelitian yang dipilih serta diskusi singkat mengenai keuntungan dan kelemahan metode yang dipilih.

Timetable atau Jadwal Penelitian

Di bagian ini, kamu juga bisa memasukkan beberapa informasi sebagai berikut :

• Jadwal untuk seluruh tahap penelitian yang akan dilakukan
• Jadwal publikasi hasil penelitian (dalam bentuk jurnal dan lainnya), apabila ada.

Daftar Pustaka

Tentu saja, kamu juga harus membuat daftar pustaka yang berisi semua artikel, buku dan sumber lain yang kamu gunakan saat menyusun research plan ini.

Contoh Research Plan Untuk Beasiswa

Untuk mendaftar beasiswa, khususnya jenjang Doktoral, kamu biasanya akan diminta untuk menyertakan research plan sebagai salah satu dokumen pendukung. Meskipun demikian, program beasiswa memiliki ketentuan yang berbeda-beda tentang format research plan yang dibutuhkan, sehingga kamu juga butuh mencari tahu dan memastikan format research plan yang bisa kamu pakai.

Berikut adalah contoh research plan untuk beasiswa yang terdiri dari bagian latar belakang, pertanyaan penelitian ( problem statement ), tujuan penelitian ( objectives ), tinjauan pustaka ( preliminary literature review ), metode penelitian ( methodology ) dan daftar pustaka ( references ), yang disadur dari University of Houston:

Tips Menulis Research Plan

Beberapa tips yang berguna untuk menulis research plan adalah sebagai berikut :

• Pilihlah topik penelitian yang penting yang dapat memberikan kontribusi untuk disiplin ilmu yang diminati ( contribution to knowledge ) atau dapat menjawab pertanyaan penelitian yang penting untuk disiplin ilmu.  
• Baca dan ikuti instruksi yang sudah ditetapkan oleh universitas atau beasiswa tujuan. Pastikan kalau research plan yang kamu tulis sudah sesuai dengan kriteria yang ditetapkan.
• Pastikan cakupan penelitian yang kamu ajukan dapat dilakukan secara realistis, karena universitas atau penyedia beasiswa tidak hanya menilai research plan dari segi kualitas subtansi dan signifikansinya namun juga melihat kemungkinan penelitian dilaksanakan dengan baik.  
• Minta bantuan orang lain untuk memerika ulang research plan yang sudah ditulis untuk mendapatkan umpan balik yang konstruktif.
• Jangan lupa untuk memasukkan semua sumber yang kamu kutip ke dalam daftar pustaka untuk menghindari tuduhan plagiarisme.
• Pastikan alur yang ditulis di dalam research plan sudah ringkas, jelas dan padat.
• Minimalisir kesalahan penulisan dalam research plan dengan melakukan proofreading beberapa kali, sebelum research plan diserahkan ke universitas atau penyedia beasiswa.

Given a revived national discourse about rural populations, more educational research on rural students is necessary, including ways that rural students transition to college and the success (or lack thereof) that they experience once there. However, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has changed the definition of rurality used in each iterative dataset over the last few decades, casting doubt on the consistency of what is meant by the term rural. The purpose of this study is to: (a) communicate to the educational research audience various ways of defining rural students, and specifically how NCES has changed their definition of rurality over their last three major data collections; (b) demonstrate how conclusions about rural students’ and their college degree completion may differ based on these alternate NCES definitions; and (c) discuss how this specific example using NCES data relates to the wider landscape of research on rural students. Results show that conclusions about college degree completion change depending on the definition of rurality used for analysis. Therefore, the education research community should consider the options for defining rural students, report transparently about the choices made, consider the sensitivity of results to the definition of rurality, and ultimately build a more robust body of literature concerning rural students’ college success. Gaining definitional clarity will be beneficial, particularly for those who wish to translate their research into practical action for the benefit of rural students.

We note that an additional issue for researchers to consider is the recategorization of geographical areas based on population changes over time, but addressing this issue is beyond the scope of this brief.

This is not strictly true for the most recent HSLS dataset, as NCES gathered data from 9th graders rather than 10th graders and followed a different data collection strategy than previous collections, making comparisons over time less appropriate.
