Undergraduate Research

Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) at the Municipal Futures Lab.

UROP cultivates and supports research partnerships between undergraduates, faculty, the municipal government, CSOs, and the broader development community. You may join established research projects or pursue your own ideas. Projects occur during the academic year and/or in the summer session — lasting for an entire semester or continuing for a year or more.

By engaging in UROP, you'll have the opportunity to participate in each phase of research activity—from developing research plans, writing proposals, and conducting research — to analyzing data and presenting or publishing your results.

UROP Benefits include:

• Building meaningful connections with faculty, researchers, graduate students, and other undergraduates who share similar research and career interests.
• Learning more about majors/minors and/or exploring another field of interest
• Gaining knowledge and practical skills necessary for graduate school, health professions, or a future career.
• Applying classroom learning to real-world problems and actual research...learn by doing.
• Contributing to research outcomes—whether co-authoring papers, preparing posters, attending conferences, patenting inventions, or launching a start-up.

With UROP the possibilities are endless! Start your journey using the tools provided on this site.
