UROP Project Proposal Deadline
This message has been approved by Latika Young, Director of CRE, for distribution to students, staff and faculty.
The Aug. 17 deadline to submit a UROP Project Proposal is coming up soon!
The Center for Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement (CRE) is recruiting project proposals for the 2026-2027 academic year from faculty, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and campus partners from all academic disciplines for our Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) students.
As UROP Research Mentors, faculty, postdoctoral scholars and graduate students are eligible to apply for UROP materials grant funding and may be nominated for an Undergraduate Research Mentor Award.
For examples of recent completed UROP projects, visit the UROP Project Portal.
Please remember, UROP is a year-long experience, culminating with the UROP students presenting at the campus-wide Undergraduate Research Symposium in late spring. Feel free to look over the Undergraduate Research Symposium program here: https://cre.fsu.edu/research-symposium-group-view.
By posting a project to the portal, there is no obligation to accept a UROP student if you do not find a good match. You will have the chance to meet with students during the Research Mentor Roundtable event in early fall, as well as interview any potential students at your convenience over the first month of the fall semester, before compacts are signed with students by Oct. 7. Typically, UROP students work 5 to 10 hours per week as a Research Assistant, although the specific schedule, tasks and expectations will be confirmed when signing the compact.
You can contact CRE Senior Associate Director Alicia Batailles with any questions you might have at alicia.batailles@fsu.edu.
