Welcome to UROP!
UROP is designed to help Boston University full-time undergraduate students become involved in research.
Our website provides a forum for BU faculty members to identify full-time BU undergraduates to participate in research projects. BU students can perform research on a volunteer basis, for academic credit, through the work-study program, as a mentor-funded assistant, or with the aid of a UROP grant.
UROP provides financial support for student research stipends, supplies, and travel. Over the years, we have funded a broad range of research projects in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, medicine, education, and the arts. Research through UROP must take place under the guidance of a BU faculty mentor, and is defined as any scientific or scholarly activity that contributes to the production of new knowledge.
The 14th Annual UROP Symposium was held on Friday, October 21, 2011 in the GSU.
Decisions on Spring 2012 funding have been made and students were notified.
Applications for UROP summer 2012 funding will be due Noon, Wednesday, March 7, 2012.
Applications for UROP fall 2012 funding will be due by Noon, Tuesday, September 18, 2012.
