Additional Resources
BSI Scholars in STEM Undergraduate Research
This program, new in 2016, replaces both the BURST and UROP-HHMI funding programs.
Independent research is a time-intensive endeavor. You should have a strong interest in conducting research given the demands of finding a lab, applying for funding, and gaining background knowledge and training - all before actually conducting research. Once in the lab, you should expect to spend at least 10 hours per week on research during the school year and 20-40 hours per week during the summer.

UROP
CU Boulder has a rich culture for cultivating undergraduates as emerging scholars, artists and practicing researchers. UROP provides consultation services, informational workshops and grants to promote undergraduate research as a high-impact learning practice for student success.
Each year UROP funds hundreds of students who produce new knowledge and creative work in partnership with CU's world-class faculty. We serve students and faculty whose learning and teaching goals include outside-the-classroom enrichment.
In a UROP project, you:
- Explore academic interests beyond the classroom
- Get hands-on experience with research or creative production
- Develop student-faculty relationships for professional references
- Acquire academic and professional skills and credentials
- Demonstrate successful grant-writing skills
- Refine your academic and career goals
