DEADLINES/INFO SESSIONS

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program is designed to help early-career undergraduate students engage in research. FSU Faculty, Staff, Postdocs, and Graduate Students are eligible to become a UROP Research Mentor by submitting a UROP Project Proposal.

We are currently recruiting UROP project proposals until Monday, August 19.

Join one of our virtual UROP Research Mentor Information Sessions to learn about becoming a UROP Research Mentor. UROP Research Mentors can hand-pick research assistants who will engage in 5-10 hours of research each week for the academic year. Students are also supported through their participation in a biweekly class, which teaches them about the mechanics of research. During the spring semester, mentors help their research assistants craft a poster to present their work at the Undergraduate Research Symposium in early April. In addition to supporting mentees, mentors are eligible to apply for UROP Materials Grant Funding and can be nominated for the Undergraduate Research Mentor Award.

Upcoming Research Mentor Virtual Information Session:

Wednesday, August 14 from 10:30-11:30 AM - Registration Link
