Be sure to visit our website today and throughout the semester for research news, funding announcements, workshop information and registration, and a variety of research resources for faculty and students.
Augment Your Research Team with Students from UROP
Faculty: you are invited to submit your research projects to the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP). UROP offers students an opportunity to earn paid experiences as research assistants on faculty-led projects. For many students, working closely with a faculty mentor represents one of the highlights of their academic career. At the same time, faculty can also benefit by having enthusiastic and engaged students working directly alongside them. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity!
For more information, please visit under the “Faculty” tab or contact Andre Louis at .
Below is the list of funding opportunities and program announcements for this week.
