Deadlines
URA Application Deadline
Date and Time
Friday, May 23, 2025
Description
The Undergraduate Research Assistant program provides meaningful work-study opportunities to students during the academic year and students during the Spring/Summer semester who may not have the opportunity to engage with non-compensated research activities. By engaging in mentored research and scholarship, students have the potential to experience the transformative nature of research, as well as develop academic and professional skills.
During the academic year, only work-study students are eligible for these positions. URA selection is done primarily by the faculty with approval from OURS. Please note that the URA grant cannot be awarded to support an independent study (499), or an Honors Thesis.
URAs are student research assistants who work 8-10 hours per week for a faculty member performing various research tasks.
For more information on how a faculty can apply, proposal requirements, grantee responsibilities, and more please visit the Undergraduate Research Assistant Program page.
