UROP relies on a team of volunteers to help ensure that all applications receive fair and informed evaluations—and that projects conform to the highest ethical standards.
We encourage those interested in serving on the review board to read the information here and sign-up using the interest form at any time. UROP will contact the interest list in late February to confirm and provide additional instructions.
Sign up: Review Board Interest
Tenured/tenure-track, research faculty, contract instructors and postdocs at CU Boulder are eligible to evaluate UROP proposals.
Due to the distribution of applications, we have the most need in these areas:
UROP proposals are evaluated in a double-blind review process in which committee members cannot identify applicants or mentors.
Reviewers are sent proposals for evaluation and provided with evaluation rubrics and score sheets.
Mentors endorsing student applicants may still evaluate proposals; they will have the option to recuse themselves from proposals that present a conflict of interest in the evaluation process.
UROP sends proposals for evaluation near the beginning of March and requests scores two weeks later.
Dates will be posted after the application opens for the next cycle.
UROP proposals are sorted into one of six disciplinary categories, which students select when applying.
The review board is organized into the same categories, which reviewers select when signing up.
We invite you to select the category that best describes the methods you are most comfortable evaluating.
