UROP Proposals for Student and Equipment Requested

The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) provides undergraduates at any of the nine North Dakota University System campuses the opportunity to partner with a faculty member on STEM related research.

To participate, a student, in coordination with a faculty mentor, submits a proposal which outlines the semester or year long research. Students are paid up to $2,000, and allocated up to $400 for materials and project expenses.

A second track of the UROP invites proposals from faculty for medium scale research instrumentation that can be used to sustain undergraduate research. Requests up to $20,000 will be considered.

The deadline for proposal is 11 p.m. on Monday, February 24, 2025.

Scoring rubrics used by jurors are provided for both tracks [Student] | [Equipment].

Funds are provided by the ND EPSCoR office at NDSU in a partnership with UND, and are available through June 2025.
