The Tulane Research and Innovation Award (TRIA) is a Scholars Program that provides students with the opportunity to engage in research during their first year on campus. Participants are paired with a faculty member in the School of Science and Engineering and assist with that faculty member’s research throughout the academic year. Students are expected to work approximately 10 hours each week in their assigned lab and receive a $2500 stipend, distributed over the course of the year.

TRIA is an invitation-only program for admitted students who are identified as strong candidates for the program.
