The first visit will involve having your eye movements, physiological responses (e.g., heart rate), video of your face/upper body, and brain activity non-invasively recorded while you complete a computer-based reading task and answer several questionnaires. It will take approximately 2 to 3 hours, and you will be paid $20 per hour for a total of $40-60.

About a week later, you will complete a 30-minute online survey; upon completion you will receive an additional $10. Note that travel compensation is not provided.

If you are under 18, your parent or guardian will also need to provide consent.

We will take utmost care to ensure your safety for the duration of the visit, with stringent procedures approved by CU administration.

• We provide masks, handwashing stations and temperature checks on arrival.
• All occupants of the building are required to wear a mask at all times.
• All equipment is sterilized between uses with medical-grade disinfectant.
• You will be alone in the testing room for most of the study (a researcher will run the session from an adjacent room, instructing you via video conference).
• Only six people will be in the facility at a time (43% of usual occupancy).

How will I get paid?

Payment will be via an Amazon gift card.

What are the next steps?

The Office of First-Generation Programs and Enrichment within the Center for Inclusion and Social Change is excited to be working with faculty and staff across CU Boulder to best support first-generation college students both in and out of the classroom. 

Research shows that finding systems of support and community in college is critical toward student success and retention. To assist with these efforts, we are gathering a list of faculty and staff who are first-generation and/or those who would like to be a support system for students who are the first in their families to go to college. It is our hope that by creating a community of faculty and staff who share this identity and/or passion for this student population, we can connect our students to resources and mentors and help them find their sense of belonging on campus. 

If you identify as first-generation and/or would like to support this student population, please complete this survey by Friday, Aug. 13, at 5 p.m. MDT. We will use the information shared to create a community of supporters on our website and pass along information about future events. While we encourage and welcome active participation in future programs, we recognize that our bandwidths and workloads are all different. Please note that you define how involved you want to be with this initiative and future programs. 

We want to thank you in advance for your support and commitment to our first-generation college students. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
