ROMA Lab Support Plan for Student Stipends & Internships

<aside> Dear New ROMA Lab Member:

Welcome to our journey of exploration! Here, we not only focus on cutting-edge scientific questions but also cherish the growth and development of every member. To ensure we can work together efficiently and joyfully, we have established this support plan. Let's begin with a candid consensus.

1. Background & Our Vision

In formulating our lab policies, we fully understand and respect the following realities:

• Regarding Internships: In our broader research group and department, there is a widespread and strict tradition of generally not allowing students to undertake external internships, with the intention of ensuring students can devote themselves fully to research.
• Regarding Stipends: Similarly, the traditional practice in the broader group is not to provide advisor stipends to first-year Master's students.

Our Choice & Commitment: Based on a deep understanding of the above context, ROMA Lab wishes to make some more flexible and supportive attempts. We believe rigorous research training and broad industry perspectives can complement each other, and stable support enables everyone to engage in research with greater peace of mind. Therefore, we have broken with convention to create this "Special Support Plan" for you. Its sustainability depends on our collective efforts and mutual trust moving forward.

2. Our Student Stipend System

Beyond the basic subsidies provided by the national government and university, the lab additionally allocates dedicated funds from research grants to establish the following Student stipends.

<aside> Our Core Commitment: The total stipend support the lab provides to each student (per capita) will be guaranteed to be no less than the average level for peers in our department. We will use this as a baseline and strive continuously to reach the top 10% leading level.

2.1 Research Kickstart Grant (First-Year Master's Students)

To support your smooth transition into research, we provide a "Research Kickstart Grant" of ≥200 RMB/month (A typical number: 600 RMB, according to our budget). This grant is intended as foundational support for your initial exploration and learning.

2.2 Formal Student Stipend (Master's from Year 2 & All PhDs)

As you become core contributors to the lab's research, our support level upgrades. Your monthly stipend consists of two parts:

• Part A-Base Stipend: Recognition of your stable contribution as a core lab member. Master's students: ≥400 RMB/month; PhD students: ≥1000 RMB/month.
• Part B-Performance Incentive: A dynamic reward for outstanding contributions, awarded based on objective assessments of your research breakthroughs, project contributions, and lab service.
