Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Research Institute (MURI)
MURI facilitates the creation and support of multidisciplinary research teams consisting of undergraduate students, graduate students, post-docs, senior staff, and faculty. The primary purpose of these teams is to provide undergraduates a unique opportunity to work with mentors on real-world problems to gain research skills that can be applied to their college coursework and future careers.
In this program, students will acquire research skills (e.g., literature review, research methodology, data collection and analysis), learn about ethics in research and scientific writing, and improve their oral communication skills by presenting their research at either the annual IUPUI Student Research and Creative Activities Day in April or the CRL Student Summer Poster Symposium in July.
The academic year cycle runs from October to April, the summer cycle from June to July.

MURI is funded through a partnership between the Center for Research and Learning and the School of Engineering and Technology. As part of this employment program, students will earn $11 per hour. During the academic year, students work approximately 10 hours per week; during the summer students' weekly hours will be determined based on project needs. The mentors will receive up to $2,000 for research supplies or equipment.
