UROP

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) grants are available for the academic year or the summer to support independent, faculty-mentored research. Students may apply either for a stipend or for funds for research materials.

IUPUI students typically identify a mentor and work with their mentor to write a proposal for a substantive research project to be completed during the academic year (fall and spring semester) or the summer (eight to nine weeks).

Application is open: 2/1/2023–3/31/2023

What are the benefits of doing research? There’s nothing like the thrill of discovery or making an original intellectual or creative contribution to your discipline. You’ll experience how fulfilling—and fun—it is when your research or creative project reveals a new understanding that could change how people think and live.

Under faculty supervision, you’ll play a significant role in IUPUI’s research endeavor. Research experiences help you gather serious credentials for your dream career. You can expand your professional network, present your research or art project at national and international events, and get your results.

A few of the benefits of doing undergraduate research include:

Real-life research experience
Student research scholarships for most CRL programs
Project supply funds
Opportunities to present research posters at local conferences and symposia
Honing of public-presentation skills
Establishing an academic/professional network
Learning to work in teams
Opportunity to publish in the IU Journal of Undergraduate Research
