Research Participation Program (RPP)
The Research Participation Program (RPP) at the University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Business allows students to earn required class credit or extra credit by participating in ongoing research studies. The program's primary goal is to expose students to the diverse research conducted within the college. Students can fulfill the research experience requirement in one of two ways:
Your SONA account is how you access and schedule your appointments with the lab. If you are a student that has previously been enrolled in a class that uses SONA to earn course credit, you may already have an account with us.
However, if you are new to the SONA system and don't have an account, follow the instructions linked in the button below to create an account for participating in our research studies!
Once you have a SONA account, you can make an online or in-person appointment on SONA to participate in the research studies. When you log in to your account, you should be able to view available timeslots.
If you are having trouble finding studies to participate in or have completed all available studies, we encourage you to fulfill your remaining research requirements by preparing research briefs.
We will gladly accept research briefs throughout the semester, but your account will not be credited until the end of the semester due to the grading procedure.
