Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) Grant Announcement for 2012-2013

The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) at Mills is committed to enriching the academic experience of Mills undergraduates by helping to create a student research community. The Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program asks all Mills Undergraduates and Faculty to review the following UROP grant materials and invites interested students to apply for funding. Students applying for a mini-grant must have a faculty supervisor on the project. It is recommended that all students work closely with faculty in the design of their projects and preparation of their UROP applications.
