About Us
The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) provides research-related opportunities and information to students interested in engaging in independent or collaborative research with faculty members and research professionals. Research is defined very broadly by the Office of Undergraduate Research to include scholarship and creative work. The OUR helps students find research opportunities with UConn faculty in virtually every discipline offered by the University. Interested students may begin an undergraduate research experience as early as their first year on campus. The OUR provides funding opportunities for student research and scholarship through several sources, including OUR grants and the Summer Undergraduate Research Fund (SURF). The OUR also sponsors and coordinates Frontiers in Undergraduate Research, the annual spring poster exhibition that showcases students’ accomplishments and productivity as researchers. Explore the website’s listings of internships, summer research placements, and funding sources to find student opportunities for scholarship at UConn and beyond.
