CU Boulder's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) offers funding to support undergraduate research projects in all fields of study and professional practice. Funding is given in the following forms:
Assistantships ($1000 to $2000): Funding to students who partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project.
Individual Grants: ($1500 to $3000): Funding to students who take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal.
Eligibility: Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at the University of Colorado Boulder to apply for UROP funding and should not plan to graduate before the end of a proposed project's grant term. All student grants must be supervised by an eligible mentor. Tenured/tenure-track, research faculty and contract instructors at CU Boulder and the Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible to mentor Student Grants and apply for Faculty Grants. Graduate students or post-docs may serve in a supervisory role on student grants, but the faculty mentor must provide some direct mentoring to the undergraduate. Learn more on UROP's website! Applications are due by Febuary 16th, 2024. Contact urop@colorado.edu with questions.
