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

Kris's summer plans:
"This summer, I’d like to visit the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. I love learning about the Space Race, especially NASA’s Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs. It would be amazing to see authentic artifacts from these programs in person."

Cary's summer plans:
"Each year, I try to visit a new state. I’ll be going to Maryland in June! It’s a goal of mine to explore FL while I can (aka, while it’s still above water). It’s such a diverse state, geographically and culturally. I hope to thrift some cool furniture – I’m moving into a new house which requires big purchases, so hopefully, thrifting can help me stay under budget and snag some unique, quality pieces. I hope to make batch summer cocktails for hangouts – I plan on making it a point to be a good hostess this summer, very Southern Living magazine."
