Welcome to the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program!

UROP is here to help undergraduate students engage in faculty-mentored research and creative works. On this website you can find opportunity listings, funding for your project and formal presentations, venues to present your work, and much more.

What is UROP?

Each year, UROP awards approximately $500,000 in funding to students working on faculty-mentored creative work or research projects or presenting at conferences. Students have used funding to conduct field research abroad, purchase critical supplies, earn stipends and more. Watch the video to learn more about how UROP serves undergraduate students at UHM.
