UROP - Achievements

Boston University undergraduate researchers gain valuable experience when they work together with faculty on research projects. In preparation students learn to write project proposals with faculty guidance and then submit them to compete for UROP awards. Award recipients are posted here every term. Participants in externally funded undergraduate research programs across the university are also listed here.

Every fall UROP summer award recipients present a poster and the results of their summer projects during Parents Weekend at the Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium. UROP student abstracts are published electronically and distributed at the event. Symposium photo albums showcase the students's work.

Select undergraduates become co-authors on scientifice papers in prestigious journals. UROP is proud to publicize these accomplishments in the Published UROPers section.

Since its inception UROP has assisted more than 40 students to participate in professional conferences, such as the National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, which features an undergraduate poster session. UROP has sent student to the Council on Undergraduate Research's Posters on the Hill conference, where students present their research findings to congressmen and house representatives. All conference participants appear here.
