Welcome to UROP
Our role is to facilitate and encourage opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in research during their tenure at Georgia Tech. Watch the website for information on future activities, funding opportunities, projects, symposia, and workshops. Check back often for information on newly approved Research Options within the various colleges at Tech and application information for the President’s Undergraduate Research Awards (PURA). Also watch for our bi-semester newsletter for profiles of students and faculty mentors in addition to other timely information.
Students who are interested in increasing the visibility of undergraduate research on campus should consider joining our Student Advisory Board for Undergraduate Research (SABUR). The group serves as a sounding board for our office and also plans activities and events related to undergraduate research, including the annual awards ceremony and a series of library talks. Students are also working to create a new Undergraduate Research Journal, The Tower.
Please feel free to contact us if you want to discuss undergraduate research, need assistance in finding a faculty mentor, or just have general questions.

Director, Undergraduate Research
