UROP RFP Announced
The UROP program supports faculty-mentored and STEM-focused research for undergraduates within the North Dakota Higher Education System.
Students interested in pursuing research would consult with a prospective faculty member on the project idea, then work together on the development of a short proposal that communicates the essence and scope of the intended work.
The deadline for proposal is 11 p.m. on Monday, April 1, 2024.
Students are paid up to $2,000, and allocated up to $400 for materials and project expenses.
For perspective on what other students have worked on, review the titles and abstracts of projects previously awarded in a related program.
Afterwards review the required proposal outline and which includes the proposal criteria rubric, noting that projects that draw from multiple disciplines may be scored higher, increasing the likelihood of funding.
Proposals will be evaluated and ranked by members of the UROP Advisory Council, reaching out to any of these for advice would prove useful.
The UROP also provides funding for medium scale research instrumentation that are useful to undergraduate research. Requests for up to $20,000 will be considered via a short proposal.
Scoring rubrics 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.
We encourage your participation in these research opportunities.
