UROP offers funding to support undergraduate projects in all fields of study and professional practice.

• Assistantships ($1,000 to $2,000) provide funding to students to partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project.
• Individual Grants ($1,500 to $3,000) allow students to take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal.

Eligibility: Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at CU Boulder to apply for UROP funding and should not plan to graduate before the end of a proposed project's grant term. 

All student grants must be supervised by an eligible mentor. Tenured/tenure-track, research faculty and contract instructors at CU Boulder and the Anschutz Medical Campus are eligible to mentor student grants and apply for faculty grants. Graduate students or postdocs may serve in a supervisory role on student grants, but the faculty mentor must provide some direct mentoring to the undergraduate.
