Plan your application and project timelines.
UROP applications are reviewed and awarded annually. Applicants may apply for funding in the summer and/or academic year "grant terms" at the same time.
UROP does not offer fall or spring-only grants, but students graduating in December may apply for academic year funding.
Summer
May to August
Summer term proposal timelines should span most of the award period (from the end of the Spring term to the beginning of the Fall term) and come to a distinct, if not final, conclusion by the end of the term.
Academic Year
August to May
Academic Year term proposal timelines should span most of the award period (from the beginning of the Fall term to the end of the Spring term) and come to a distinct, if not final, conclusion by the end of the term.
Multiple Submissions
Applicants may submit proposals for more than one grant term, but they must submit separate applications for each and should know that all proposals are reviewed and awarded separately.
Continuing Projects
Applicants may submit proposals for projects that extend beyond the grant term, but all proposals should come to a distinct, if not final, conclusion by the end of the term.
Limitations
There is no limit on the total number of UROP grants applicants may receive, but students may not receive concurrent funding from CU Boulder's Biological Sciences Initiative (BSI).
Students may withdraw from UROP to join BSI.
