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.
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your class policy, so we recommend confirming with your instructor. You can also double check via your SONA account. Under 'My Schedule/Credits,' you'll see a summary table of the studies you've participated in. Under that, you'll see 'Units Earned by Course,' which confirms the study credits (units) required for your select course(s).
Your SONA ID is the 5-digit, unique number assigned to you when you created your account. It was emailed to you upon account creation, but you can also find it by logging in to SONA and clicking "My Profile."
Your SONA ID is the "Identity Code" located under your name.
