Students are the future of research. At BU, you have ample opportunity to explore your interests with the support of our talented faculty. Right now we’re investigating fuel cells that run on bacteria, developing a vaccine that fights cancer with cancer cells, and diving into many other areas. What’s next? That’s up to you.
The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is now accepting applications for fall 2026 funding. UROP connects full-time undergraduate students interested in conducting research with BU faculty mentors.
We strongly encourage students to review the eligibility requirements and funding descriptions before applying. For more information, visit the UROP website.
