If so, UHM and the Charles Darwin Foundation are offering an exceptional undergraduate research opportunity in the Galápagos Islands! It will encompass a unique blend of indigenous and Western science and culture, rooted in the principles of mālama ʻāina and environmental stewardship with a core focus on the field of Island Invasion Biology in the Pacific.

All UH Mānoa students, staff, and faculty are invited to attend UROP's hybrid information sessions! Sessions will go in-depth on UROP funding opportunities and other programmatic support provided to undergraduate students and faculty conducting faculty-mentored research and creative work at UHM. Registration is required. UROP is also happy to provide an information session (in-person or virtual) in your classrooms, student orientations, department meetings, etc. upon request.

UROP encourages all UHM undergraduate students and faculty from all disciplines to create a profile and utilize ForagerOne for free! ForagerOne is a research/creative work networking platform and a one-stop-shop for undergraduate research/creative work opportunities UROP’s overall aim with ForagerOne is: (i) to lower the barrier for students to engage in research and creative work by helping them discover and connect with a faculty mentor and opportunities; and (ii) to make it easier for faculty mentors to search for and recruit undergraduate mentees.
