What is a Long-Term Research Student?

Students paid a stipend and tuition by their academic institution for a fellowship are considered "long-term students." Principal Investigators become academic advisors for a long-term student's graduate program. Eventually, the academic institution will be reimbursed by Nationwide Children's Hospital. Long-term students also include Rossler Scholars.

What is a Visiting Research Student?

Students visiting The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital to assess the possibility of becoming a long-term student are considered "visiting students." Visiting students are not paid by The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, but may receive stipend or pay from elsewhere or receive school credit.

What is a Research Volunteer?

A Volunteer is a person who is not receiving any form of school credit or receiving payment from the Research Institute and who is not replacing a paid employee position. The experience should benefit the Volunteer’s long-term career goals.
