UROP invites CU Boulder undergraduates to join a team of students working with faculty on projects in many fields of study.
Projects are supported by Team Grants and typically provide financial support to students. We encourage students to consider options in the summer and academic-year terms–and should note that some projects continue through both terms.To participate, reach out to the project mentors directly.
