RAs will need to come from the departments or colleges since the grant predated the new legislation. All new grants must include it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

case of BoR grants which do not allow tuition to be charged, we provide tuition (and now fees) as match. We don’t have any curatorial assistants.<o:p></o:p></p>
