Celebrating 20 years of Undergraduate Research

NEW!  IUPN-Explore: Research Opportunities in Nanotechnology Program

Welcome to the Undergraduate Research Office

At Carnegie Mellon, undergraduates are building mobile robots, creating documentary films, investigating cultural trends, and developing new digital communication technology.  These student researchers find themselves in the heart of the University intellectual community, where they discover the thrilling (and often messy) process of creating new knowledge.

The Undergraduate Research Office supports student research in every field of study.  We give SURG grants to cover research expenses, Summer Fellowships for full-time summer research, and Presentation Awards to support students presenting at academic conferences.  In May of each year, we hold our campus-wide celebrations of undergraduate research, the Meeting of the Minds.

We also offer help with writing proposals, finding advisors, and applying to academic conferences.  Interested?  Use the links to the left, call us, or drop by - we're here to help you succees.  So what's your idea?
